Seven decades later, as Europe encounters the worst refugees crisis it has seen since that time, Kissell shared her story in a letter to Sajeda, a young Syrian woman also forced to flee her home at around the same age.The letter is a message of solidarity and hope, sent as part of a program by humanitarian aid group CARE to connect World War II refugees with Syrian children experiencing the same displacement. CARE has been providing disaster relief to those displaced by the bloody Syrian civil war, but actually began as a charity for European WWII refugees in the 1940s.The group hopes the project will bring some humanity back to the ever-growing crisis in Syria that has made nearly 5 million people refugees, while also forging camaraderie between the refugees of the past and the current displaced generation.The group paired four World War II refugees who resettled in the U.S. decades ago with Syrian children who are experiencing some of the same harsh realities of war.
