Dear Great-Grandchildren,
Good Evening!
If you are reading this, it means you have reached the age of twelve and you are busy working on your family trees for school. I don't know you because you haven't yet been born and when you are already here, I will no longer be alive. So, this is a virtual meeting - but even so, I want you to know that I love you all, the fruit and roots of the future and I want to share the story of my life with you.
My children - your grandparents, and my grandchildren - your parents, my name is Nini, a name similar to what you are called in Hebrew Ninim (Great-Grandchildren). This is the game of words of a grandmother-girl.
Without even realizing it, I won the World War. I am a victorious girl, who continues to miss what should be a "given" in any one's life; a happy childhood.
I am telling you this story through my eyes so that you can learn about the family taken from both of us too early; the family I miss so much. We could have been together but that opportunity was taken from us... and I want to remember and to remind you with this book.
I feel so much love and excitement thinking of you reading this story about a little girl with nothing, not even baby teeth, from whom an entire generation of beautiful, strong, good and smart people was born and created wonderful people like you!
See how a seed can even survive war and turn into a miraculous tree!
I love you all forever and ever, the fruits of this tree.
With respect and pride,
Your Great-Grandmother
