out of enemy hands and to prevent civilian morale from breaking down. But in those tumultuous times - with Nazi spies landing on our shores by raft, U-boat attacks in the St. Lawrence, army mutinies in British Columbia and Ontario, and pro-Hitler propaganda in the mainstream Quebec press - censors had a hard time keeping news events contained. Now, with freshly unsealed World War II press-censor files, many of the undocumented events that occurred in wartime Canada are finally revealed. c2011.

siècle : l'extermination des juifs par les nazis. L'auteur raconte comment une partie de sa famille a disparu dans l'est de la Pologne au début des années 1940, sans laisser d'autres traces que quelques lettres, des photos et surtout un souvenir vivace chez les membres survivants. Il décrit aussi comment il s'est emparé des rares indices à sa disposition pour tenter de découvrir ce qu'ils étaient exactement devenus et les conclusions auxquelles il est finalement parvenu après avoir compulsé quantité d'ouvrages, traversé quatre continents, rencontré de multiples témoins et soulevé de réels tabous, y compris au sein de sa propre famille. 2007. Titre uniforme: Lost.

Né en Bucovine en 1936, Norman Manea a été déporté dans un camp de concentration en Transnistrie, en 1941, comme…
l'ensemble de la population juive de cette région. Ses grands-parents y périront. À son retour, en 1945, il est fasciné par l'utopie communiste, mais s'aperçoit très vite de la réalité cruelle, perverse et tragi-comique de ce régime totalitaire. Dès lors, la littérature se présente à lui comme un véritable refuge. Poussé à l'exil en 1986, d'abord à Berlin-Ouest, puis à New York, il se voit privé de son dernier asile et seul ancrage, sa langue. Ce somptueux roman évoque soixante ans de ténèbres, ce qui n'empêche pas un humour parfois burlesque. L'auteur explore un "je" aux multiples facettes pour faire revivre un destin individuel débarrassé des clichés de victimisation de la mémoire collective ; il offre un fulgurant autoportrait entre terreur et beauté, qui dévoile une époque chaotique et sanglante. 2006.

Even before the Second World War began, Josef Stalin had killed millions of his own citizens - and kept killing…
them during and after the war - and before Hitler was finally defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and nearly as many other Europeans. At war's end, both the German and the Soviet killing sites fell behind the iron curtain, leaving their history in darkness. Snyder presents these mass murders as two aspects of a single history, in the time and place where they occurred: between Germany and Russia, when Hitler and Stalin both held power. Descriptions of violence. 2010.

village was honoured not just by the French state, but with the extremely rare distinction of Righteous Among Nations by the people of Israel. How they earned this is one of the great modern stories of heroism and courage. Right through the War the community pulled off the astonishing feat of saving the lives of 5000 men, women and children whose very existence was deemed to be unpalatable to the Nazi occupiers and their Vichy stooges. Of those saved approximately 3500 were of Jewish descent. This title tells the story of how one French community saved these lives. 2014.
