In Transit

Narratives of German Jews in Exile, Flight, and Internment during "The Dark Years" of France.

On a narrative level, 'In Transit' is a primary metaphor for the fate of all German Jews who fled from the Third Reich and found themselves in France doubly stigmatized as Germans and as juifs. On another level, 'In Transit' offers perspectives on the Occupation of France and the Vichy regime that have not been part of the Vichy debate. The study consists of the chapters: Famous writers in Transit; Transit postponed; Narratives of "die kleinen Leute"; Transit of children; Transit to higher ground; Historians describe the transit of Jews to and from France.
