The Time Left between Us
2022
Overview
A blend of memoir, history, and oral storytelling, The Time
Left between Us bridges the gap between the generation who
fought World War II and the generation who has forgotten it. Alicia
DeFonzo takes an unplanned visit to the Normandy beaches while
staying in Paris. Her grandfather \"Del\" (Anthony DelRossi) had
fought in World War II, and she becomes distraught after realizing
how little she knows about the war and his experiences, which until
then had remained largely unspoken. Across landscapes and lifetimes
DeFonzo retraces her beloved grandfather's tour through World War
II Europe. The eighty-four-year-old DelRossi recounts stories as an
army combat engineer surviving major campaigns, including Normandy,
St. Lo, the Bulge, Hürtgenwald, and Remagen, then liberating
concentration camps. In this braided narrative, we see DeFonzo's
childhood in a traditional Italian American family with an erratic
Marine Corps father and a beloved grandfather. Spanning ten years,
DeFonzo's travels and research take an unexpected detour after she
inherits a Nazi Waffen-SS diary from her grandfather, and, in her
final trip, returns to Germany to confront the diary owner's
family. DeFonzo's and her grandfather's stories merge when Del
undergoes open-heart surgery and Alicia must be the one to
safeguard the past. Both nostalgic and gripping, The Time Left
between Us is a meditation on how deeply connected the past is
to the present and how the truth-and what we remember of it-are
fragmented.
