Sarah Kofman is 7 years old when the police arrest her father, the rabbi of a synagogue in Paris. The family must go into hiding and part ways. For the little girl, who experiences it all like a perpetual revelation, what follows is a saga marked by wrenching rifts: between their home and their place of refuge, her mother and the "Lady of Rue Labat," two languages… A mere street separates these two worlds, but it is more like a gaping abyss. Published in 1994, these memories bear witness to the lives of Jews in the context of collaboration, Occupation, and war.
