This book was written during 2015. It starts before the events surrounding
the hundredth anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, a
denied genocide.
Yair Auron has studied the Jewish-Armenian relationships for decades;
he holds them dear to his heart, in part because Israel does not recognize
and in fact denies, the Armenian Genocide.
The book tells the extraordinary story of the Aznavour family, at a time
when Paris was occupied by the German army and the Gestapo.
Charles Aznavour writes in his foreword:
“What we did during the Occupation seemed to be the most natural
thing in the world, and so we gradually forgot about our parents’ involvement,
until Yair Auron came to talk to us.”
