From the Inside Flap:

"Her voice, like Anne Frank's voice, will be heard for generations." --Martin Sheen

On August 24, 1942, mere days before entering a concentration camp, Valli Ollendorff wrote this letter to her son Ulrich, who had escaped to America. Valli died less than two months later and the letter was lost for forty-three years. Now, families worldwide can share this universal message of hope, longing, and parental love.
