my dear good rosi: letters from nazi-occupied holland

When Judy Vasos and her husband Tony, discovered an entire collection of his grandparents' letters in a desk drawer, they promised his mother, Rosi, they would have the over two hundred letters written from Amsterdam between 1940 and 1943 translated and published. This book is the result of that promise.

Tony never knew his grandparents who had fled to Holland from their long-time home in Nuremberg, Germany, a hot bed of Nazi anti-Semitism since Hitler's rise to power. His mother, Rosi was twent-four years old the last time she saw her parents and when she began receiving their letters filled with wisdom, humor and anguish.

About the Author

Judy Vasos is a historical detective who lives in Oakland, California, with her husband, Tony Baczewski, and Ruby, their fifteen-year old Norwich Terrier. Judy's years of experience with social work, freelance writing and creating family history books led her to the belief that most people are waiting to hear the words tell me to reveal their personal story. Her passion is to listen and record those stories. She grew up in the Midwest surrounded by a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents full of love and stories.They brought family history alive, played a crucial role in helping her through rocky times, and gave Judy and her five siblings an appreciation of unconditional love.
