About Anne Sinclair

About the Book

In the Shadows of Paris is part memoir, part historical document revealing a lesser-known chapter of the Holocaust: on December 12, 1941, the Nazis carried out a mass arrest - in French, the word is rafle, but there is no equivalent in English that captures the horror-of einflussreiche Juden, as the Germans put it. For that there is an equivalent: "influential Jews."
These doctors, professors, artists - only men at the upper levels of French society - were then imprisoned less than fifty miles from Paris in the Royallieu-Compiègne concentration camp. Those who did not perish in Frontstalag 122 were deported on the infamous cattle cars to Auschwitz and other death camps, except for the few to escape that fate. Leonce Schwartz was one of them.
