All for you : a World War II family memoir of love, separation, and loss
(Book)

"Emil, a Jewish man in 1930s Germany, loves Deta, a Lutheran, but Nazi racial purity laws forbid their marriage. As conditions in Germany worsen, Deta leaves for England, but Emil has to overcome red tape, resistance from his parents, and his own ambivalence before finally embarking for America. Once there, with only telegrams and letters from Deta to sustain him, he does all he can to bring her and his family to America. But the clock is ticking as the war breaks out and the Nazis tighten their stranglehold. From the heartbreaking news of Kristallnacht to the horrific revelations after the German surrender in 1945, Emil's story runs the course of the war. Told by Emil's daughter with the help of letters and historical documents, All For You is a true story about love, loss, the challenges refugees face as they build new lives, and the impact the Holocaust continues to have on the rising generation."--from back cover.
