Penulis: Susan Kandt Peterson

It wasn”t until years after her parents were gone and she was living in Asheville, NC, that Susan Kandt Peterson read the bundles of letters that they had written from a pre-war Europe under the threat of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party, letters written during WWII when her father was a secret agent with the Counter Intelligence Corps, and letters written from postwar Germany. Growing up, she had heard stories her mother and father had told, but they were remembrances only, told to ears too young to comprehend a war that was still being chronicled.Reading the letters as an adult, her parents came alive as young newlyweds; curious, adventuresome, sometimes naive, and deeply in love. Her father became the soldier and spy that he was. Their stories now had dimension with color, new meaning and new emotion as the world was hurled into WWII.
