Every Day Lasts a Year

Discover the poignant narrative of "Every Day Lasts a Year" by Richard S. Hollander, published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. This revised edition spans 308 pages and unveils a deeply personal account of resilience and survival during one of history's darkest periods. As Hollander explores letters unearthed from his father's attic, readers are transported to Krakow, Poland, between 1939 and 1942. These letters vividly illustrate the daily struggles faced by his father's family against the backdrop of immense suffering and fear. Concurrently, Joseph Hollander, Richard's father, fought against the U.S. government to evade deportation and certain death. This compelling story not only sheds light on the harrowing experiences of a family during wartime but also highlights the enduring human spirit. A must-read for anyone interested in history, personal narratives, and the impact of war on everyday lives.
