WAR IN LETTERS AN POETRY

Early 20th Century, Europe is plunged into darkness, a time of wars, famine, and horror. An era marked by speeches of hatred and contempt toward certain groups in society. This poetry collection spans from a correspondence between a father, a Nazi leader, and his daughter, to the story of a Jewish woman. You will witness the suffering during war and the relief when it ends. You will feel the horror of seeing your city destroyed and the worries of a sweet girl whose father is a soldier.

Children do not sleep. Babies cry, and so do their mothers-more bitterly, as they have lost their husbands. Long lines form in search of a bit of food. Fear grips the population, fear of being bombed or dying in the arduous struggle to survive.

Nearly a century of peace in the old continent is shattered again by fear, hunger, and escape. The grim war once more preys on the weakest, leaving trauma and death in its wake. This war hurts: it is visible in the faces of neighbors and the streets where missile and bomb scars mark the ruined and abandoned buildings. The invaders remain, and the cities, now in ruins, have lost their usual liveliness.
