SUMMARY:We Are Going to Be Lucky: A WWII Love Story in Love Letters
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Fox joins us to discuss her new book We Are Going to Be Lucky: A WWII Love Story in Love Letters. \nWe Are Going to Be Lucky tells the story of a first-generation Jewish American couple separated by war\, captured in their own words. Lenny and Diana Miller were married just one year before America entered World War II and Lenny was sent off to train and fight. Deeply committed to social justice\, and bonded to one another by love\, both vowed to write to one another daily. As Lenny made his way through basic training in Mississippi to the beaches of Normandy and eventually to the Battle of the Bulge\, Diana struggled financially\, giving up her job as a machinist to become a mother. The couple’s extraordinary letters\, preserved in their entirety\, reveal and reflect the excruciating personal sacrifices endured by both soldiers at war and their young families back home. After decades of gathering dust\, the couples’ words have been carefully transcribed and thoughtfully edited and annotated by Elizabeth L. Fox\, Lenny and Diana’s daughter. \nElizabeth L. Fox has served for more than twenty years in a leadership role on the National Board of Hadassah\, where her responsibilities include writing\, training\, and public speaking. She has a BA in history from the City College of New York and an MA in vocational rehabilitation counseling from New York University. She lives in Boulder\, Colorado.
