About the Book

Over fifty years ago, Gerda Weissmann was barely alive at the end of a 350 - mile death march which took her from a slave labour camp in Germany to the Czech border. On May 7, 1945, the American military stormed the area and the first soldier to approach Gerda was Kurt Klein. Written immediately after the war, when they were forced to seperate, their letters intimately chronicle their powerful love, from the time they first saw each other, when Gerda was near death in a concentration camp and Kurt, a German-born American soldier, arrived as one of the camp's liberators, to their marriage in Paris a year later.

About the Author :
Gerda Weissman Klein and Kurt Klein lecture frequently and have written extensively about their experiences during the Holocaust. Gerda Weissman Klien is the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary "One Survivor Remembers." Kurt Klein's story was featured in the PBS series "American and the Holocaust." The Kleins have been married for more than fifty years and live in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Review :
"This amazing testament to the steadfast love is a sunlit spot against the horrific gray years of the Holocaust...A common love of literature and decency binds Gerda and Kurt, who reveal their wonderful love story in this spellbinding series of missives." --"Library Journal" (starred review) "Haunting...engrossing. The letters are suffused with romantic yearnings and touching plans for the future." -"-Publishers Weekly" "The Hours After is an account of survival, healing, and the triumph of the human spirit against overwhelming odds." --"Anniston "(Alabama) "star" "This collection of beautifully written letters is unusual in its honesty and beauty, written in the face of such great sorrow and such exquisite joy." --"The Jewish Transcript" "[The Kleins'] story is now filled in for the rest of the world--not in the sepia tones that one might imagine of the moments immediately following concentration camp incarceration, but in glorious, robust color." --"San Diego Jewish Press Heritage" "[An] intense and moving story." --"Jewish Exponent"
