But all that privilege counted for nothing when the Nazis arrived; the family was high up on the list of Philippe Petain's targets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInspired by diary entries and by conversations the author had with Ninette before she died, \u003ci\u003eNinette's War\u003c\/i\u003e narrates the family's fall from grace alongside the creeping understanding of the Vichy government's collaboration with the Nazis. Through Ninette's eyes we witness how it all unfolded: from the anti-Semitism in the playground-sometimes from her own teachers-to Ninette's first crush under a false identity. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Woven into the political backdrop of a nation turning inward on itself, this is the tale of a life once filled with riches becoming rootless, where friends were left behind and politicians legislated their own people out of existence-and to their deaths-culminating in what we now know as the Holocaust.","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42549759770685,"sku":"9781639369614","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781639369614_p0.jpg?v=1771586120","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781639369614","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
