Love Letters That Defied War | New Orleans News

A hauntingly beautiful dance performance, “Love Letters of World War II,” brings to life the wartime romance of Yvette and Roger through real letters, revealing how a simple scarf saved Roger’s life—and how love endured amid chaos. The show expands into gripping tales: fearless French resistance women, Cajun linguists who helped win the war, and an undercover dancer aiding Nazi escapes. It also spotlights James Killion, Jr., and his family’s letters, honoring Black servicemen’s fight for “double victory.” New archival material from the Library of Congress adds fresh depth. This moving tribute to resilience and connection runs August 28–30 at The Josephine—where love outlasted battle. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
