      About the Publisher

      Dedication

      Car la collaboration, comme le suicide,

      comme le crime, est un phenomène normal.

      Jean-Paul Sartre,

      Qu’est-ce qu’un collaborateur?

      Chacun son Boche

       Communist rallying cry, August 1944

      Prologue

      March 1945

      Sur mes refuges détruits Sur mes phares écroulés Sur les murs de mon ennui J’écris ton nom

      Paul Éluard, Liberté

      1

      She dreamt of the children.

      They were picnicking on the edge of a corn field, Pauli hiding from his sister, Céci giggling with delight as she crawled through the forest of green stalks. Now she too was out of sight, but her happy laughter and her brother’s encouraging cries drifted back to their mother, dozing in the warm sunshine.

      Suddenly there was silence, and a shadow between her and the sun, and a shape leaning over her, and a hand shaking her shoulder.
