Hidden in France

More about the book

Memoirs of a Jew who was born in 1929 in a suburb of Paris to a family of Polish immigrants. In July 1942 the family narrowly escaped the "great roundup, " after which his parents, helped by French friends, sent Jeruchim, his brother Michel, and his sister Alice into hiding in Normandy. Between 1942-44 they were hidden by French peasants in various villages. In August 1944 they were liberated by the Americans. The parents were deported by the Nazis and perished. After the war Jeruchim settled in the USA. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism)
