Description
Deborah Slier-Shine and Ian Shine discuss a treasure trove of letters and postcards accidentally discovered during demolition work in Amsterdam in 1997. Written by an eighteen year-old Dutch-Jewish boy by the name of Philip "Flip" Slier, the letters document the ongoing destruction of Dutch Jewry that Flip experienced firsthand. Deborah Slier-Shine and Ian Shine spent seven years researching Flip's final years, a journey that took them from the Dutch forced labor camps of Vught and Westerbork to Sobibor in Poland. UC San Diego Library, UC San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0175 (https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/contact) Slier, Deborah, and Shine, Ian. Translated by Pritchard, Marion. Hidden Letters. New York: Star Bright Books, 2007.
