«Les Disparus» is Daniel Mendelsohn's non-fiction work on the Holocaust, published by Flammarion in paperback (656 pages, in French).
Daniel Mendelsohn reconstructs the fate of his great-uncle Shmiel, his wife and their four daughters, murdered in eastern Poland in 1941. From desperate letters of 1939 and interviews with witnesses across a dozen countries, Mendelsohn weaves together family memory, detective-like investigation and reflection on history and forgetting.
The English original, «The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million», was published in 2006; the French translation by Pierre Guglielmina won the Prix Médicis étranger 2007.
For readers interested in the Holocaust, Jewish history and family stories reconstructed through research.
