Thank you for sharing your amazing rescue of those treasures and what lovely words she had! I can’t wait to read more of your upcoming posts about those letters!!
I spent several years transcribing 1,300+ letters written by my grandparents to each other during WWII. It was such a worthwhile project and I learned a lot about my family. I possess hundreds of more letters written through the 1960s and 1970s but haven’t processed them yet. I published every WWII letter online on my blog, and have since published two books that only cover six months of the war. It was a massive project but I made my way through it one letter at a time. Your project is definitely possible ❤️❤️❤️
Helene- This is such a moving letter. Especially when it got to: “if it isn’t worth saving and I can’t believe that, then we will blow ourselves to bits.” How powerful and true.

I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for commenting.
What a fantastic trove. That letter was definitely not "a page of nothing" :)
