My brother is in Ferramonti

Historical

The Correspondence Between Two Siblings: Gabriele, who shares his life from an internment camp, and Miriam, a young girl growing up in wartime Rome.

Rome, June 1940. Miriam is ten years old, very shy, and suddenly loses the comforting presence of her beloved older brother, Gabriele, who is interned in the Ferramonti camp in Calabria. But the letters they exchange keep her company through years of adventures and discoveries, as the storm of the Shoah looms over the Jews of Europe. The war ends, but while Miriam does not survive in real life, she lives on in the letters her brother continues to write—letters in which he tells her about his life, his new family, and the future she will never get to see.
