About This Item
New York, NY: Four Winds Press, 1988. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Price clipped. DJ has slight wear and soiling.. [6], 297 p. Map. In this autobiographical novel set in Nazi-occupied France, Renee, a young Jewish girl, and her family flee their home in Alsace and live a precarious existence in Paris until Renee and her sister escape to the shelter of a Catholic school in Normandy. Overview [from an on-line posting] "Through her book Touch Wood: A Girlhood in Occupied France, Renée Roth-Hano effectively provides insights into the terror that spread through France and into the lives of a modest Jewish family with the advance of the Nazi regime. Roth-Hano describes how she and her family were affected by the gradual application of anti-Semitic laws that forbade them to own certain commodities or to shop when or where they wanted and that forced them to wear the yellow Star of David on their coats restricting, in effect, their entire existence."
