Description
In the 10th arrondissement of Paris, on Saint-Maur Street, stands an apartment building at number 209, where since the 1850s families of craftsmen and workers, immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe, have lived. Generations have grown up here, loves and friendships have formed, and everyday life has been regularly interrupted by the disasters and violence of the 20th century. In the 1940s, many Jewish families, including nine children, were deported from here, and their fates are the center of the author's grand prose testimony about the memory of places and the invisible threads that connect the living and the dead. In Ruth Zylberman's narrative, the stories of the disappeared and the returnees, children and adults, collaborators and resistors, lovesick girls and women of ill repute, specific people of various nationalities whose lives were brought together by one Parisian address come to life.
