Winner of the 1997 Prix Franco-Européen & Runner-up in the 2000 Koreth Jewish Book Award Not the Germans Alone A Son's Search for the
Truth of by Isaac Levendel WITH A FOREWORD OF
ROBERT O. PAXTON _____________________________________ Version Française : Un
Hiver en Provence – Éditions de l’Aube |
||||||||
A
journey into a shameful chapter of French history . Levendel's
search took him from his home in the What he found shocked him. For decades Levendel believed that
the Germans had taken his mother away. In fact, the archives contained evidence
of widespread French collaboration with the Nazis, from government officials
who prepared deportation and census lists to members of a gang in But there were also those who helped the young Isaac - sometimes at great risk to themselves - after his mother disappeared, and Levendel remembers them here as well. His research reunited him with several of these people, and his gratitude is palpable. The heartbreaking story of a young boy taken from his mother and the man he becomes, as well as an alarming exploration of a shameful chapter of French history, this book should be read by anyone interested in the literature of the Holocaust or the story of World War II. ELIE WIESEL: "Highly readable and deeply moving, this book is an important contribution to Holocaust literature, It raises many questions and opens many gates leading to the abyss of darkness and despair of these years. Reading it is in itself a commitment to memory." ROBERT O. PAXTON: "A vivid picture of collaboration at the village level ... one of the most convincing and moving of its kind." |
