Irene:
Chronicle of a Survivor
by Irene Hofstein
The true story of a teenage girl's lifelong feelings of love and loss for her beloved grandmother and childhood Berlin.
Uprooted in 1939 at the age of 18, Irene Hofstein and her mother emigrated to the U.S. But despite arduous attempts, they were unable to secure a visa for Irene's grandmother, Jenny, who ultimately perished in Auschwitz in 1943.
The book contains a series of poignant letters from Irene's grandmother, left behind in Berlin, to Irene and her family, who were trying to build a new life in Boston. These letters provide a keen insight into Jenny's and Irene's parallel feelings of hope and despair, their courage as each adjusts to new circumstances and, above all, their powerful love for each other.
