Alain Grand met en images le roman le plus intime de Marc Levy.
« Nous avions si vite perdu la guerre… De Londres un général lançait un appel à la résistance, tandis que Pétain signait la reddition de tous nos espoirs. Ce 21 mars 1943, j’ai dix-huit ans et j’ai enfin un tuyau pour entrer en contact avec la résistance. Il n’y a pas dix minutes, je m’appelais encore Raymond. À présent, je m’appelle Jeannot. Jeannot sans nom. »

Ils s’appelaient Raymond, Claude, Charles, Émile, Boris, Jan, Catherine, Damira, Sophie ou Osna. C’est l’histoire vraie de ces enfants de l’Occupation devenus trop vite adultes. C’est l’histoire de leur engagement dans la résistance toulousaine.

Alain Grand puts into images the most intimate novel by Marc Levy.

"We had so quickly lost the war ... In London a general appealed to the resistance, while Pétain signed the surrender of all our hopes. On 21 March 1943 I am eighteen years old and I've finally a contact for resistance.  I am no longer called Raymond. Now, I'm Johnny. Jeannot unnamed. "

They called Raymond, Claude, Charles Emile, Boris, Jan, Catherine, Damira, Sophie or Osna. This is the true story of the children of the Occupation as they become adults far too soon. This is the story of their involvement in the Toulouse resistance.

This is a gripping, well drawn book and I wish there was an English translation to put under the noses of the ignorant pigs who constantly refer to the French as “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”  or as a people who are taught “I surrender” as a first sentence.  That is the basest racist ignorance. It also dishonours the thousands who suffered and died –and without the help of whom events like D-Day might not have been so successful.

This is a cracking book!
