Ninette's war

John Jay

Ninette Dreyfus was a cosseted scion of one of France's most prominent Jewish families - a cousin to Albert Einstein and family friend to Colette. But when the Second World War took hold and the Nazis occupied Paris, the fall from grace was dramatic. Realising that the Vichy regime would transform her fate, the teenager soon found herself fleeing the capital for the South, in fear for her life. Woven together from Ninette's own diaries and interviews with author John Jay before she died, 'Ninette's War' traces the frailty of national and personal unity through the eyes of a young woman, in compelling and unforgettable detail.
