Journal Entry 2 by pinklady60 from San Diego, California USA on Sunday, December 27, 2009
An unfinished novel in two parts portrays life in France between June 4, 1940 and July 1, 1941, the period during which the Nazis occupied Paris, and written during that actual period. The book was meant to include three more sections but was never completed because on July 13, 1942, Némirovsky (then 39) was arrested under the regulations of the German occupation and was brought to a convoy assembly camp at Pithiviers. Four days later, together with 928 other Jewish deportees, she was transported to Auschwitz where she was put to death in a gas chamber.

The first appendix includes the author’s notes and journal. The second appendix includes letters written after her arrest. By themselves they tell a compelling story, and knowing the provenance, adds to the flavor of the novel.
