Epilog

In April 1980, some thirty years after the letter, and following Ginger's trip to the United States with his wife and two sons, he met with Violet at her home in Manhattan. Violet divorced her husband and lives with her elderly mother in the same apartment. For a living, she works as a nurse at Mount Sinai Hospital. She named her only daughter Sara. Ginger eventually immigrated to Israel and enlisted in the IDF, where he reached the rank of officer in responsible command positions.
