"THOUGH IT IS MORE THAN sixty years later, the memories of World
War II continue to haunt me. However determined I was to erase them
from my consciousness through the years, they simply would not fade
away. Thus, I resolved to write this memoir in the hope that it
would liberate me from the shackles of their continual
recollection." With these words, Leo Michel Abrami begins his
poignant memoir of childhood in Nazi-occupied France, recounting
the numerous dangers faced by his family during these years and his
hiding on an isolated farm in Normandy. It is a story seen through
a child's eyes, full of beauty and betrayal. It is a story of
ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, most importantly,
young Leo's courageous and inventive mother who, according to him,
is "the real hero of this story." " The Eleventh Commandment], like
The Cellist of Sarajevo brought me close to the horrors of war and
shows in a touching and highly personal way how people are changed
by it and how powerful and admirable is the will to survive." -
