The Rogovoy Report: Review of The Letters Project
Eleanor Reissa Wrestles with Holocaust Legacy in New Memoir
Engaging and intimate – owing to the personal history she uncovers and painstakingly records — The Letters Project is by turns a daughter’s love letter to the father she thought she knew as well as a riveting saga of personal and painful revelation and a cautionary tale for those who do not heed the lessons of history. The book is a unique, unflinching account of a contemporary quest demanding to make sense of the senselessness of the Holocaust, leavened by Reissa’s confessional style, engaging personality, and her sense of humor.
