Description
Ninette's War is a captivating tale centred around Ninette Dreyfus, a cherished member of one of France's most illustrious Jewish families. Connected by kin to Albert Einstein and sharing close bonds with Colette, Ninette lived a privileged life. However, the onset of the Second World War and the Nazi occupation of Paris marked a steep descent from grace.
As the Vichy regime threatened to alter her destiny, the young teenager was compelled to flee the capital for the South, driven by the fear for her life. The book paints a vivid picture of her journey, intertwined with her own diaries and insights gathered from interviews with author John Jay prior to her passing.
Ninette's War is a poignant narrative that explores the fragility of both national and personal unity through the lens of a young woman's experiences, offering readers unforgettable and compelling detail.
