When Jo applied to get a German passport following the folly of Brexit, she opened the door to a lot of history. Her father was a refugee from Nazi Germany in the 30s. Her paternal grandparents committed suicide during the war, rather than be sent to the death camps. The letters she has found are going to form the basis of the book.
The photo is of the accordion that her father brought with him from Germany when he fled. It is a beautiful thing. Hohner still make the best blues harmonicas.
