Montreal: Authors from Home | Denmark’s Forgotten Holocaust: My Family History in Letters, Bodil Jelhof Jensen
Come discover a remarkable story of courage, love, and hope during World War II. You'll meet Max and Rose, whose family did everything they could to support them—sending letters, money, and packages—even from afar. When Max left the camp on a Red Cross bus in April 1945, he managed to smuggle letters filled with love and encouragement.
During the evening, you will see these letters reproduced in their entirety, as they were handwritten in German, accompanied by translations into Danish and English. Letters written before and after the war, family photos, and official documents will complement the story, offering a unique and authentic account of life during the Holocaust.
This is a moving story of resilience and survival, showing how love and determination can endure even in the darkest hours. Join us for an evening of history, reflection, and inspiration.
