Resena: Holocaust Odysseys: The Jews of Saint-Martin-Vesubie and Their Flight through France and Italy
by
Dr. Susan Zuccotti,
Saint-Martin-Vesubie is a French mountain village on the border of Italy. This author tells the story of nine Eastern European Jewish families displaced to France in 1943 and their flight through Vichy France and German-occupied Italy. The experiences of many other survivors of the village and their journey over the Maritime Alps to Italy are also chronicled. Zuccotti interviewed some elderly survivors and consulted archival evidence. She offers background information on Jewish immigrants and political refugees in France from 1933 to 1939 and in Belgium and Luxembourg before the war. The stories illustrate the resiliency and optimism of young people and show the capacity of women to take charge, make decisions, and lead their families to safety. Zuccotti is the author of The Holocaust, the French, and the Jews (1993)and Under His Very Windows: The Vatican and the Holocaust in Italy(2001). As in her other books, the author combines a lucid narrative with meticulous historical accuracy.
