Honored Aryans. Roger D.

"A whirlwind of hatred flew around the city, turning every neighbor into a possible enemy." So they see Paris, occupied by Nazi troops, Lucy, Maria-Luis and Suzanne Stern. Cousins ​​were born in a rich Jewish family and grew up in a bourgeois atmosphere of Paris at the beginning of the 20th century.
