But all that privilege counted for nothing when the Nazis arrived; the family was high up on the list of Philippe Petain’s targets.\n\nInspired by diary entries and by conversations the author had with Ninette before she died, Ninette's War narrates the family's fall from grace alongside the creeping understanding of the Vichy government’s collaboration with the Nazis. Through Ninette’s eyes we witness how it all unfolded: from the anti-Semitism in the playground—sometimes from her own teachers—to Ninette’s first crush under a false identity.\n\nWoven into the political backdrop of a nation turning inward on itself, this is the tale of a life once filled with riches becoming rootless, where friends were left behind and politicians legislated their own people out of existence—and to their deaths—culminating in what we now know as the Holocaust.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1639369619\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1639369619.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jay, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
