This book was a lot different than I expected. Many WWII memoirs are written by Jews who have experienced concentration camps, which certainly display the horror and terror of Nazism. But this memoir offers a different perspective—that of a French dissident fighting Nazi Germany intellectually, and having to pay the price as a political prisoner and slave laborer. Her writings are detailed and wry, and show the pains of occupation.
