Dena Romero on All for You: A World War II Family Memoir of Love, Separation, and Loss

After her father's death, Dena Rueb Romero discovered a box of letters at her parents' home dating back to 1938. There were love letters between her parents, letters from her grandparents in Germany to her father, copies of his replies, and more, all of which illuminated for Dena her parents’ lives during the war and filled in gaps that had haunted her childhood.
This event was co-sponsored by the Hanover Historical Society and Howe Library and took place the Howe Library in Hanover, NH on May 16, 2024
Dena Rueb Romero grew up in Hanover, New Hampshire, the daughter of a Lutheran mother and a Jewish father, both refugees from Nazi Germany. She graduated from Brandeis University and received an MA in English from the University of Virginia and an MSW from Boston College Graduate School of Social Work.
