Stateless
Chapter 1: Anti-Jewish War
In March 1934, Irène Némirovsky, a dramatic critic for the daily newspaper Aujourd’hui by Paul Lévy, attended an anti-fascist play by the Austrian refugee Ferdinand Bruckner. She has this horrified comment: “These “snapshots of the anti-Jewish war in Germany” may seem singular and even implausible to the French public [...]. But alas! this madness is real and contagious. In addition, it reveals a state of mind terribly worrying for the neighbours of a people where sadism, pride and cruelty are so glorified.” (Today, 10 March 1934)
