«Les disparus» is the historical and memorial chronicle by Daniel Mendelsohn, published by J'ai lu in paperback (930 pages, in French).
Daniel Mendelsohn reconstructs the fate of his great-uncle Shmiel, his wife, and their four daughters, who disappeared in eastern Poland in 1941. From desperate letters of 1939, he tracks down witnesses in a dozen countries to give them a face. The result is a puzzle of family memory, history, and suspense.
