Ninette Dreyfus was a cherished descendant 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 broke out and the Germans occupied Paris, her life changed dramatically. Realizing that her fate would be altered, the teenager soon fled the capital for the South, only to fall into the hands of the Vichy regime. In fear for her life at the hands of the Nazis and their French collaborators, she became someone else.
Built from Ninette's own diaries and interviews with author John Jay before her death, NINETTE'S WAR traces the fragility of national and personal unity through the eyes of a young woman, in compelling and unforgettable detail.
