As a girl, the woman’s family hid a Jewish refugee in their Parisian home. The refugee was a young man who had fled Poland, and while he was hiding, this young woman fell in love with him. After the war – and, sadly, in the face of resistance from her parents – the couple married.

She three decades or so later, in 2008, had issue in immersed herself in sources from the period. her acclaimed second novel, Caging Skies. The story’s transformation was a pretty thorough one. Now the story has itself been further transformed – In Leunens’ story the hider is a young woman – with the release of Jojo Rabbit, a free adaptation of Elsa – and the lovestruck child an adolescent boy the book by the New Zealand-born director Taika – Johannes – chillingly indoctrinated with Hitler Waititi.
