Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Le 25 mars 1942, près d'un millier de jeunes femmes juives, célibataires et mineures pour la plupart, embarquèrent dans un train en gare de Poprad, en Slovaquie, après qu'une série de rafles eurent été menées à travers le pays. Vêtues de leurs plus beaux vêtements, emplies d'un sentiment de fierté patriotique teinté pour certaines du goût de l'aventure, elles quittaient la maison de leurs parents. Confiantes, elles croyaient partir travailler quelques mois dans une usine pour accomplir un « service civil ». Ces jeunes femmes - certaines avaient à peine 16 ans - finiront à Auschwitz. Leur gouvernement avait acheté leur déportation 500 Reichsmarks (180 euros) par personne, les livrant aux nazis comme main-d'oeuvre réduite à l'état d'esclave. Sur ces 999 adolescentes, très peu survécurent. Les faits édifiants concernant ce premier convoi « officiel » de Juives déportées à Auschwitz sont à peine connus. Ce n'était ni des combattantes dans la Résistance ni des prisonnières de guerre. Seulement des jeunes femmes, impuissantes, envoyées vers une mort certaine, non seulement parce qu'elles étaient juives mais aussi parce que c'étaient des femmes. À partir de ses entretiens avec les survivantes, de ses rencontres avec des historiens, des témoins et des proches, et de 25 ans de recherches, Heather Dune Macadam, auteure confirmée et de renom, révèle, au jour le jour, les histoires poignantes - jamais racontées à ce jour - de ces premières déportées, apportant une contribution essentielle à la littérature sur la Shoah et à l'histoire des femmes."

Abstract

This book tells the largely unknown story behind the rescue activities of several remarkable young Jewish women in Vichy France during World War II and their role in the resistance against Nazi and Vichy France deportation policies. Few studies of Vichy France and the Holocaust have looked at the rescue of Jews by those prepared to risk everything to escort them to safety in the border regions, and even fewer have considered Jewish rescue of Jews, specifically of Jewish children by women. This work will be arguably the first book in which the experiences and efforts of a number of female rescuers-all of whom knew or knew of each other-have been brought together in a single volume, with the object of honoring their memory and showing how the value of human life was sustained through the Holocaust. Focusing on a number of young Jewish women who defied the Nazis, this narrative highlights their courage and sacrifice in their efforts to rescue Jews in France during World War II. Additionally, it shows how these French women responded to Nazi and Vichy France policies of deportation through resistance activities. This is a story that will captivate anyone with an interest in the innate goodness of human beings that can shine even when confronted with the darkest expressions of depravity that occurred during the Holocaust.

Abstract

"Written shortly after the close of World War II, Escaping Extermination tells the poignant story of war, survival, and rebirth for a young, already acclaimed, Jewish Hungarian concert pianist, Agi Jambor. From the hell that was the siege of Budapest to a fresh start in America. Agi Jambor describes how she and her husband escaped the extermination of Hungary's Jews through a combination of luck and wit. As a child prodigy studying with the great musicians of Budapest and Berlin before the war, Agi played piano duets with Albert Einstein and won a prize in the 1937 International Chopin Piano Competition. Trapped with her husband, prominent physicist Imre Patai, after the Nazis overran Holland, they returned to the illusory safety of Hungary just before the roundup of Jews to be sent to Auschwitz was about to begin. Agi participated in the Resistance, often dressed as a prostitute in seductive clothes and heavy makeup, calling herself Maryushka. Under constant threat by the Gestapo and Hungarian collaborators, the couple was forced out of their flat after Agi gave birth to a baby who survived only a few days. They avoided arrest by seeking refuge in dwellings of friendly Hungarians, while knowing betrayal could come at any moment. Facing starvation, they saw the war end while crouching in a cellar with freezing water up to their knees. After moving to America in 1947, Agi made a brilliant new career as a musician, feminist, political activist, professor, and role model for the younger generation. She played for President Harry Truman in the White House, performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and became a recording artist with Capitol Records. Unpublished until now but written in the immediacy of the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust, Escaping Extermination is a story of hope, resilience, and even humor in the fight against evil"--
