Abstract:
Discusses four less-known female French writers who published literary works (novels or memoirs) about the war in the 1940s-50s. One of them, Dominique Arban (pseudonym of Natalia Huttner), was Jewish. Her parents had emigrated from Russia to France before World War I. Arban, a journalist and critic, wrote her only novel, "La cite d'injustice, " during the war. It was published in June 1945. Its major theme is the predicament of Jews in Vichy France. Compares the plot with Arban's own wartime experiences, as told in her autobiography, "Je me retournerai souvent..." (Paris: Flammarion, 1990). Her parents were arrested in Paris, and perished in deportation.
