Review: "Every Day Lasts a Year. A Jewish Family's Correspondence from Poland"/ Christopher R. Browning, Richard S. Hollander, Nechama Tec. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2014. ISBN 9781107668768
- This volume is a paperback edition of a 2007 publication to which new elements have been added. Its subject is the experiences of a Jewish family from Kraków following German occupation in 1939, with well over half of the text devoted to letters sent by various members to Joseph (Józia) Hollander, the one person to escape the Nazis and find a new home in the United States. As a primary source, these letters are clearly a valuable research tool for anyone working in the area of Holocaust Studies, whilst having a much wider relevance, not least in an era marked by persecution and flight caused by war. The remainder of the book puts the family's experiences into wider contexts.
