Memoirs of Henri and Charlotte Zucker, French Jews of Polish origin, who married in 1937. Henri was born in 1912 in Paris, Charlotte in 1920 in Poland. In 1939 Henri joined the French army as a volunteer, was caught by the Germans, and spent 1940-43 as a POW under a false identity. In 1943 he escaped and returned to Limoges, where he had settled with Charlotte. The couple was arrested in April 1944 and deported to Auschwitz, where Charlotte bore a child, who was killed one day later. Henri and Charlotte recount their experiences in Auschwitz separately. They were both sent on a death march and liberated in 1945. After the war they returned to Limoges. Henri's mother was caught in Paris in the roundup of Vel d'Hiv and deported to Auschwitz, where she was killed. The Zuckers' stories were written down by Mabille de Poncheville.
