On 18 July 1943, one-hundred and twenty Jews were transported from
the concentration camp at Drancy to the Levitan furniture store
building in the middle of Paris. These were the first detainees of
three satellite camps (Levitan, Austerlitz, Bassano) in Paris.
Between July 1943 and August 1944, nearly eight hundred prisoners
spent a few weeks to a year in one of these buildings, previously
been used to store furniture, and were subjected to forced labor.
Although the history of the persecution and deportation of France's
Jews is well known, the three Parisian satellite camps have been
subjected to the silence of both memory and history. This lack of
attention by the most authoritative voices on the subject can
perhaps be explained by the absence of a collective memory or by
the marginal status of the Parisian detainees - the spouses of
Aryans, wives of prisoners of war, half-Jews. Still, the Parisian
camps did, and continue to this day, lack simple and
straightforward descriptions. This book is a much needed study of
these camps and is witness to how, sixty years after the events,
expressing this memory remains a complex, sometimes painful
process, and speaking about it a struggle.
