The Librarian Walks The Streets Of Her Beloved Paris. An Old Lady With A Limp And An Accent, She Is Invisible To Most. Certainly No One Recognizes Her As The Warrior And Revolutionary She Was, When Again And Again She Slipped Into The Jewish Ghetto Of Germanoccupied Vilnius To Carry Food, Clothes, Medicine, Money, And Counterfeit Documents To Its Prisoners. Often She Left With Letters To Deliver, Manuscripts To Hide, And Even Sedated Children Swathed In Sacks. In 1944 She Was Captured By The Gestapo, Tortured For Twelve Days, And Deported To Dachau.Through Epistolophilia, Julija Ukys Follows The Letters And Journalsthe Lifewritingof This Woman, Ona Imaite (18941970). A Treasurer Of Words, Imaite Carefully Collected, Preserved, And Archived The Written Record Of Her Life, Including Thousands Of Letters, Scores Of Diaries, Articles, And Press Clippings. Journeying Through These Words, Ukys Negotiates With The Ghost Of Imaite, Beckoning Back To Life This Quiet And Worldly Heroinea Giant Of Holocaust History (One Of Yad Vashems Honored Righteous Among The Nations) And Yet So Little Known. The Result Is At Once A Mediated Selfportrait And A Measured Perspective On A Remarkable Life. It Reveals The Meaning Of Lifewriting, How Women Write Their Lives Publicly And Privately, And How Their Words Attach Themand Usto Life.
