Описание: Born a German Jew in 1915, Rudy Baum was eighty-six years old when he sealed the garage door of his Dallas home, turned on the car ignition, and tried to end his life. After confronting her fathers attempted suicide, Karen Baum Gordon, Rudys daughter, began a sincere effort to understand the sequence of events that led her father to that dreadful day in 2002. What she found were hidden scars of generational struggles reaching back to the camps and ghettos of the Third Reich.In The Last Letter: A Fathers Struggle, a Daughters Quest, and the Long Shadow of the Holocaust, Gordon explores not only her fathers life story, but also the stories and events that shaped the lives of her grandparents—two Holocaust victims that Rudy tried in vain to save in the late 1930s and early years of World War II. This investigation of her familys history is grounded in eighty-eight letters written mostly by Julie Baum, Rudys mother and Karens grandmother, to Rudy between November 1936 and October 1941. In five parts, Gordon examines pieces of these well-worn, handwritten letters and other archival documents in order to discover what her family experienced during the Nazi period and the psychological impact that reverberated from it in the generations that followed.Part of the Legacies of War series, The Last Letter is a captivating family memoir that spans events from the 1930s and Hitlers rise to power, through World War II and the Holocaust, to the present-day United States. In recreating the fatal journeys of her grandparents and tracing her fathers efforts to save them an ocean away in America, Gordon discovers the forgotten fragments of her familys history and a vivid sense of her own Jewish identity. By inviting readers along on this journey, Gordon manages to honor victim and survivor alike and shows subsequent generations—now many years after the tragic events of World War II—what it means to remember.
