«Tombeaux: autobiographie de ma famille», memoir-essay by Annette Wieviorka (Éditions du Seuil, 2022).
After the death of a childless aunt, Annette Wieviorka reconstructs the lives of her Polish Jewish family, the Wieviorkas and the Perelmans. In a narrative that erects paper tombs, she turns to archives, genealogies and memories to traverse a century of poverty, war, roundups, deportation and difficult return to life.
The work, published in the Fiction & Cie collection, was awarded the Prix Femina Essai.
For readers interested in the memory of the Holocaust, the history of Polish Jews in France, and family genealogies.
