Why would the Empire of Japan imprison five Dutch radio engineers, hold their families hostage, and move them from Indonesia to Japan? And why would one of them die?
Why would the Empire of Japan imprison five Dutch radio engineers, hold their families hostage, and move them from Indonesia to Japan? And why would one of them die? Through heartfelt letters written across decades, oceans, and generations, and during her travels across the world, Laura begins piecing together her father's hidden past, guided by his enduring spirit and love, especially when she's at her most vulnerable. As Laura delves deeper, she uncovers not only a remarkable family story shaped by resilience, displacement, and quiet heroism, but also a forgotten chapter of World War II. Told with warmth, curiosity, and reverence for the past, Dear Laura is a testament to the lifelong adventure of understanding those we love. It is a deeply personal memoir of questions finally asked, healing that comes from bearing witness to the truth, and the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter. More than a memoir, it is an unraveling of a mystery, a reclaiming of legacy, and a reminder that sometimes the most extraordinary stories are those buried closest to home.
