Snippet:
On frail paper, with faded ink, the letters of Idit Papa and Meir Hirschfeld trace a remarkable, untold journey of love and survival during the Holocaust. The young Orthodox couple in Hungary exchanged messages that sustained them through forced labor, ghettos, brazen escapes, and months in hiding. Against all odds, they survived, married, and eventually built a life in Israel.
