Kurzfassung:
Traces the fate of Joseph Herscu, a Romanian Jew who emigrated to France in 1910, and his family during the occupation years. His daughter Renée (b. 1924) was arrested in August 1942 for refusal to wear the yellow star, interned in Pithiviers, and then deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. Another daughter, Adèle (b. 1921, called Madeleine) was arrested in 1943 for possession of false identity papers and interned in Drancy. Presents and discusses the contents of a letter she threw from a train on the way to Auschwitz, which testifies to the cruel treatment of internees in Drancy under the German occupation. She perished soon after her arrival. Pp. 111-119 focus on the career of Alois Brunner as the commander of Drancy between June 1943 - August 1944, his policies and his actions.
