Brooklyn in Love & at War

My grandparents' World War 2 Love Letters

Alex & Sylvia’s Love Story on the News

I’m so thrilled that Alex and Sylvia’s love letters have made the news. I spoke with a reporter from Pix11 News – a local New York TV station – for over an hour about their lives and the stories held in the 500+ letters that they exchanged. Of course, this turned into a 2.5 minute segment but I think it captures their humor, deep devotion to each other, and of course, their New York-ness!

Here’s the segment:

There are a lot of pieces to this story that I’m excited to keep exploring and sharing. I hope that Alex and Sylvia are proud, wherever they are. Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you take a moment to handwrite a card to someone you love.
