Letters From Cuba<\/a> by Ruth Behar <\/p><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The situation is getting dire for Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II. Esther\u2019s father has fled to Cuba, and she is the first one to join him. It\u2019s heartbreaking to be separated from her beloved sister, so Esther promises to write down everything that happens until they\u2019re reunited. And she does, recording both the good\u2013the kindness of the Cuban people and her discovery of a valuable hidden talent\u2013and the bad: the fact that Nazism has found a foothold even in Cuba. Esther\u2019s evocative letters are full of her appreciation for life and reveal a resourceful, determined girl with a rare ability to bring people together, all the while striving to get the rest of their family out of Poland before it\u2019s too late.

Based on Ruth Behar\u2019s family history, this compelling story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
