Dear Mary

The story is essentially a thank you letter from a former refugee child, for an aid package that was sent from America in the aftermath of the Second World War. Though the letter is addressed to Mary, it is also addressed to all those who belong to the generation of Mary. The story exudes messages of human love, kindness, compassion and the power of goodness. Miriam Steiner-Aviezer is a Holocaust child survivor, and the author of The Soldier with the Golden Buttons, a book published by Yad Vashem, which features a child's perspective of the Holocaust.
