  1. Surtout, n'oublie pas qui tu es : l'histoire de Betty, enfant cachée, 1943-1944

    Grinbert, Betty, 1932-
    Paris : L'Harmattan, [2022]

    "Betty Grinbert a vu partir son père encadré de deux policiers français lors de la rafle du Vel d'Hiv le 16 juillet 1942. Elle raconte cette journée et toutes celles qui ont suivi, à Paris puis à Château-Thierry, où elle a été cachée. Elle raconte aussi l'après-guerre, la honte d'avoir survécu aux déportés, l'impossibilité de parler de sa vie d'enfant juive cachée, jusqu'au moment où elle rencontre Serge Klarsfeld. Une rencontre qui changera tout pour elle. Betty partage ses souvenirs les plus douloureux, ses doutes et ses fragilités. Sa voix tonique et sans fard percute en plein coeur. Un partage authentique, inoubliable."--Page 4 of cover.

  3. Looking for strangers : the true story of my hidden wartime childhood

    Katz, Dori
    Chicago ; London : University of Chicago Press, 2013.

    Dori Katz is a Jewish Holocaust survivor who thought that her lost childhood years in Belgium were irrecoverable. But after a chance viewing of a documentary about hidden children in German-occupied Belgium, she realized that she might, in fact, be able to unearth those years. Looking for Strangers is the deeply honest record of her attempt to do so, a detective story that unfolds through one of the most horrifying periods in history in an attempt to understand one's place within it. In alternating chapters, Katz resurrects her multiple pasts, setting details from her mother's stories that have captivated her throughout her life alongside an account of her own return to Belgium forty years later-against her mother's urgings-in search of greater clarity. She reconnects her sharp but fragmented memories: being sent by her mother in 1942, at the age of three, to live with a Catholic family under a Christian identity; then being given up, inexplicably, to an orphanage in the years immediately following the war. Only after that, amid postwar confusion, was she able to reconnect with her mother. Following this trail through Belgium to her past places of hiding, Katz eventually finds herself in San Francisco, speaking with a man who claimed to have known her father in Auschwitz - and thus known his end. Weighing many other stories from the people she meets along her way-all of whom seem to hold something back - she attempts to stitch thread after thread into a unified truth, to understand the countless motivations and circumstances that determined her remarkable life. A story at once about self-discovery, the transformation of memory, a fraught mother-daughter relationship, and the oppression of millions, Looking for Strangers is a book of both historical insight and imaginative grasp. It is a book in which the past, through its very mystery, becomes alive, immediate - of the most urgent importance.
