Olga Campbell is a second generation Holocaust survivor. Her mother’s entire family was killed during the war and although her mother survived, that trauma stayed with her and had a profound impact on Olga. The feelings generated by this as well as by the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, at the age of 49, shaped Campbell’s emotional life for years.
“DEAR ARLO – letters to my grandson” is her response to these circumstances. through art, poetry, prose – even family recipes.
This is an exploration into the legacy of trauma and how it shapes one’s identity. The book however does not only focus on trauma, it also celebrates the power of writing and art as a transformational and healing tool and it looks at the wonder and magic of life. At the heart of the book are letters to Campbell’s grandson, Arlo. These letters serve to unify the book and transition from one section to the next.
This book is a legacy, not only for the author’s grandson, but for all of us who are invited to share in this intimate journey.
