This is the story of Serge Klarsfeld, a French historian, writer and lawyer who was born in Bucharest, Romania, in 1935. And this is how his story, and that of his family, begins: a story which is intertwined with the history of France. In summer 1940, France was split into two zones: the northern, or ‘occupied’ zone, under the control of the Nazis, and the southern, or ‘free’ zone under the control of the Vichy regime. In south-eastern France the situation changed in 1942.
