End the Silence

Hurray! We officially “launch” the book October 2, 2011 at the place where its keel was laid–Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, Washington, where I first heard Ilse tell a tiny piece of her story. That story compelled me to offer to help Ilse write her memories for her children and grandchildren to read someday.

You can click on our new Book page to read “The Handkerchief,” the story she told that night.

A non-Indo reader says she picked up the book one afternoon and did not put it down until 3 am. She writes, “…you and she have made a tremendous addition to understanding not only about that terrible history… but what happens when people can’t talk.”

Well, that’s what we were hoping to hear.  So now, let us hear what you think!
