Ninette's War

About Ninette's War

Constructed through diary entries and conversations writer John Jay had with the protagonist before she died, Ninette's War charts her high society family's fall from grace as they grapple with the hostility of their country - a France that had welcomed previous generations with open arms as the first European country to emancipate its Jewish people. Ninette's testimony is compelling, heart wrenching and sincere as she chronicles her family's slow realisation of antisemitism and Nazi-collaboration from the Vichy government - led by former first world war hero Philippe Pétain, as he works to brutalise and legislate Jews out to the margins of society and towards death through Nazi rhetoric. Tracing the frailty of national pride through the eyes of a young girl, this is Ninette's War told in heart-breaking detail.
