  • The Paris Apartment Is a Work of Fiction
    READI NG GROUP GU I DE PhotosOfYou_TPTextFP Epilogue 2019-11-26 15:34:54 335 AUTHOR’S NOTE The Paris Apartment is a work of fiction. While a product of my imagination, the premises and characters I’ve chosen to create are inspired by real people and real events. The characters of Sophie Seymour and Estelle Allard were shaped by the experiences and courage of Virginia Hall, Pearl Witherington Cornioley, Christine Granville, Josephine Baker, Nancy Wake, and Andrée de Jongh. Their memoirs, interviews, and stories only give us an idea of how truly extraordinary each of these women was. Sophie’s work at Bletchley Park was based on the real men and women who worked tirelessly against time and almost im- possible odds to decode Nazi encryption devices. Most of us have heard of the Enigma cipher and the remarkable work by Alan Turing and his team to break that cipher. Told less often seems to be the story of Tommy Flowers and Bill Tutte, who, together with their teams, developed Colossus—the machine that was able to break the Lorenz cipher, known as Tunny at Bletchley. The Lorenz cipher was favoured by Hitler and used by High Command—and for good reason. It was a far more powerful than the Enigma and capable of exceedingly complex en- cryptions. Additionally, unlike the Enigma, it did not depend ParisApartment_TPtext1P Author’s Note 2020-10-01 21:13:57 395 396 AUTHOR’S NOTE on Morse code.

  • Teaching the Holocaust Nonfiction Resources
    TEACHING THE HOLOCAUST NONFICTION RESOURCES This list has been compiled to assist educators in their search for literature to use in teaching the Holocaust to children at all grade levels, K-12. This list is comprehensive but certainly not exhaustive. This research aid contains NONFICTION books whose primary topic is Jewish children who lived during or through the Holocaust. Comprising it is a mixture of literature about Jewish children who did survive the Holocaust and those who did not (most of which are in diary format). Although far fewer in number, books that tell of a person’s life after the War (i.e. in Eretz Israel or the United States) have also been included. Poetry can be found on the fiction resources list. A title’s inclusion herein was based solely upon whatever summary of a book could be found, which has been provided (copied-and-pasted) along with its source (as a website address). The author of this listing made very minor corrections to summaries where needed, including but not limited to: italicizing book titles; changing foreign words (to make spelling uniform throughout); editing for overall mechanics and spelling. Not included in this listing: • Any books whose title suggested appropriateness for inclusion on this list but for which a summary could not be found. • Books whose primary topic is of others (adults or children) who helped Jewish children (to hide, etc.) during the Holocaust or who helped to rescue them. • Books told from the perspective of a non-Jewish child who may have witnessed the mistreatment of Jews or assisted any Jewish person in some way.

    COLLOQUE MERCREDI 22 AVRIL 2020 EXPOSITION MERCREDI 22 AVRIL 2020 - JEUDI 2 MAI 2020 2 3 « Trois mille six cent fois par heure la seconde chuchote : souviens-toi ! » écrivait Baude- laire… De l’Exode, de l’Epreuve et du Sursaut… de nos communautés, il faudra se souvenir... L’objectif de ce travail a été de constituer une mémoire des exodes successifs de 1939 et 1940 et des lieux d’accueil, une chronique des diffi cultés, des épreuves rencontrées et souvent des tragédies engendrées par la Seconde Guerre mondiale… Puis l’incertitude du retour, la foi dans la refondation, l’hymne à la vie… Face à l’histoire tourmentée et complexe de notre région, faire émerger une conscience his- torique commune aux alsaciens de toutes confessions, a été un premier objectif du projet ; donner à voir le destin des communautés juives alsaciennes durant la guerre et à l’issue de celle-ci, rappeler à notre souvenir les fi gures marquantes des re-bâtisseurs de nos communau- tés détruites en a constitué un second. Ce projet pédagogique original a été mis sur pied avec la participation et la contribution de nombreuses personnes, associations et institutions. Ces chemins d’une mémoire soumise à l’œuvre du temps, constituent un héritage du passé qu’il nous faut transmettre aux généra- tions à venir. Des rescapés de la Nuit et du Brouillard, de ces femmes et de ces hommes debout, capables de sursaut, de reconstruction mais aussi des bâtisseurs du temps… nous nous souviendrons. Richard Aboaf Comme le souligne Tal Bruttmann, historien et spécialiste de la Shoah et de l’antisémitisme en France : « L’observation de la destruction des juifs d’Europe à la loupe permet de renouveler l’histoire de la Shoah ».

  • Annual Report 2012
    I personally experienced the Drancy camp for one week in late January/early February, 1944. Transferred here from Lyon, where I had been arrested for creating forged documents as a member of the resistance, I arrived after spending two weeks in the Montluc prison where I was tortured. This is where I met the woman who would become my wife. As I was alone, my experience cannot be compared to that of the majority of people, who were there with their families. I wanted to pay tribute to these thousands of massacred families, by honoring the family of my comrade Léa Rohatyn, here now, who with her father, her mother, her ten brothers and sisters, all younger than she was, were deported on February 3, 1944. We were in the same convoy to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Only Léa and one of her sisters returned from the camp.… My comrade Jacques ANNUAL REPORT 2012 Altman, who stayed several months in Drancy and at the Lévitan camp starting in May of 1943, witnessed terrible scenes of people distressed by the departures, the anguished cries of parents, the sobs of children, the many suicides— primarily women—who preferred to end their lives here by slitting their wrists. … This morning, I visited the memorial and the exhibition, where you can see this mosaic of lives that I spoke of. This memorial/museum continues the accounts, and carries our memories forward. Above all, we want it to be a place of education that encourages reflection and knowledge. The survivors do not feel hatred. For several decades, they have given their accounts of what Drancy was, what the Shoah was, with the ultimate goal of preventing racism and anti-Semitism.

  • Did Marcel Marceau Save Hundreds of Jewish Children from the Nazis?
    Did Marcel Marceau Save Hundreds of Jewish Children from the Nazis? The Frenchman who would become known as the world's greatest pantomime artist helped smuggle Jewish children to safety in Switzerland during World War II. • DAVID EMERY • PUBLISHED 29 JANUARY 2018 Claim The world-famous mime artist Marcel Marceau worked with the French underground as a teenager and help save many Jewish children from death at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. True Origin International Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed annually on 27 January (the date the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated in 1945), is an occasion not only for commemorating the millions who died during the Holocaust (1933-1945), but also for acknowledging the heroic efforts of those who helped European Jews escape the clutches of the Third Reich. One of those acknowledged heroes was the internationally acclaimed pantomime artist Marcel Marceau (1923-2007), whose work as a young man with the French underground was celebrated in a Facebook video posted on 26 January 2018: The same story is told in this excerpt from an unattributed article widely shared on social media since 2015: Marcel Marceau’s extraordinary talent for pantomime entertained audiences around the world for over sixty years. It also saved hundreds of Jewish children during the Holocaust. Born to a Jewish family in Strasbourg, France in 1923, young Marcel Mangel discovered Charlie Chaplin at age five and became an avid fan. He entertained his friends with Chaplin imitations, and dreamed of starring in silent movies. When Marcel was 16, the Nazis marched into France, and the Jews of Strasbourg — near the German border — had to flee for their lives.
