Book Review of Dora Bruder

Dora Bruder
reviewed on + 160 more book reviews


This is the first book about the French Holocaust I had read. It traces the search for a young French girl, Dora Bruder, a French Jewess, who ran away from the Convent where she was being hidden, in 1942. Patrick Modiano, the author, was himself a young boy in France during the end of WWII. His musings on the haunting, tragic times, comprise this slim volume. An excellent, unusual tome.
