Reseña del libro "Somewhere in Europe: The World War II Letters of Sam Lesner (en Inglés)"

Somewhere in Europe: The World War II Letters of Sam Lesner is a compilation of letters that he wrote from the ETO, where he was stationed, during World War II and which got saved but hidden away in a basement and never mentioned, until they were found by his daughters after his death. This book provides an eye-witness account about the War, about being a GI struggling to defeat the Nazis while missing home and family. He wrote about making friends with army buddies, treating wounded soldiers from the front in the 130th General Hospital in which he served as a medic, meeting Belgian and French holocaust survivors and learning their stories. The letters are supplemented with excerpts from an oral history of the same material he gave to a grandson in 1986. The book ends with an Epilogue about Sam's post-War career as a journalist with the Chicago Daily News and the Hyde Park Herald. This book contributes to a body of literature of previously hidden World War II letters. The soldiers came home and hid their daily correspondence to their families in basements and attics. Decades later the children and grandchildren of these veterans are finding the letters and bringing them to light, as we have done with our father's letters.
