Marlene S. Englander & Hinda Zarkey Saul - Mandel JCC Festival of Books
Book: My Dear Hindalla Remember Me, Letters from a Lost World May 1937 - January 1940
What was everyday life like in the late 1930s before World War II and the Holocaust? How did friendships endure? My Dear Hindalla Remember Me is a tribute to friendship and a testament to the rich heritage of a world that is lost, but not forgotten. Englander compiles a series of letters, translated from Yiddish, between her mother Hinda Zarkey Saul and her friend Nochum Berman. The reader learns the story of Hinda as a teenager trying to adjust to her new life in the United States, while Nochum remains in Lithuania, hoping to come to America. Through his letters, their hopeful friendship unfolds. Their correspondence provides a welcome refuge as the comfortable life they once knew is unraveling. My Dear Hindalla Remember Me was recently named an award-winning finalist in the 2012 International Book Awards.
