Vengeance: Vichy and the Assassination of Marx Dormoy, co-authored with Gayle K. Brunelle. Marx Dormoy was Léon Blum's Minister of the Interior in France in 1937 and exposed the right-wing CSAR or "Cagoule." Dormoy was arrested in 1940 at Pétain's insistence after Dormoy, a representative in the French Senate in 1940, refused to vote for Pétain's leadership. Dormoy was a socialist who fought anti-Semitism in French society and had many enemies on the right. Pétain used former Cagoulards to do his dirty work. During World War II the CSAR regrouped as the MSR and used a female operative in 1941 to assassinate Dormoy. The trail leads to Pétain. The work explores the civil war that took place in France during World War II.
Betrayal: Bombing Synagogues on the Streets of Paris, Igniting the Shoah, co-authored with Gayle K. Brunelle. During the early morning hours of October 3, 1941, French terrorists on the extreme right bombed six synagogues in Paris and attempted to bomb a seventh. It was Yom Kippur and Eugène Deloncle, leader of the Mouvement Social Révolutionnaire, collaborated with the Gestapo to carry out the destructive acts. Interestingly enough, the story has rarely been told even though these bombings preceded even more antisemitic acts in France that sent so many Jews to Auschwitz. The book deals with memory and ends with a chapter on the Americans and the liberation of Paris and the reopening of the bombed synagogues by U.S. army chaplain, Rabbi Judah Nadich.
Esther’s Shadow: French Memory of the Shoah and Why it Matters. The book retraces the life of Esther Fersztenfeld (1926-1942), a French teenager who died in the Shoah. The work is part narrative story-telling of Esther’s life, part scholarly assessment of the complicated history of French memory of the Holocaust, and part introspective thoughts on what historians do to recover the past, in this case the author’s trajectory from Paris to Orléans in France, from Będzin to Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland and to London and Jerusalem to trace the documents and people tied to Esther’s life and death.
