On June 5, 1944, the eve of D-day, Isaac Levendel's mother left the cherry farm in southern France where she and her son, not quite eight years old, had gone to escape the Nazis for what was to be a brief visit to their home to pick up the last of their belongings. She never returned. For more than forty years Isaac Levendel remained silent about, and tormented by, her disappearance. Finally, in 1990, he began to look for answers. In this book, Levendel recounts his struggle to accept his mother's death and his search through secret government archives for her killers. What he found shocked him. For decades Levendel believed that the Germans had taken his mother away. In fact, the archives contained evidence of widespread French collaboration with the Nazis, much of it not required of them but rather carried out willingly. The collaborators included both respected government officials who prepared deportation lists and members of a Marseille gang who arrested Jews - including Levendel's mother - and sold them to the Nazis. This book details this horrible complicity and is steeped in Levendel's anger toward those who participated. But there were also those who helped the young Isaac - sometimes at great risk to themselves - after his mother disappeared, and Levendel remembers them here as well. His search for the truth of his past reunited him with several of these people, and his gratitude also is palpable.
