In 2007, a file of letters between University of Heidelberg roommates and lifelong friends, Otto Frank and Nathan Straus Jr., was found in the archives of YIVO: Institute for Jewish Research in New York.
The letters revealed for the first time that Otto Frank tried desperately to get his family out of war torn Holland in 1941, fifteen months before they went into hiding in the now famous attic at Prinsengracht 263, Amsterdam.
The story of the letters has been published in a book for the first time, enriching our understanding of the history of the Frank family, and providing us greater insight into this tragic era.
Join us for a reading and conversation with the author Joan Adler, Executive Director of the Straus Historical Society.
