But all that privilege counted for nothing when the Nazis arrived; the family was high up on the list of Philippe Petain's targets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by diary entries and by conversations the author had with Ninette before she died, \u003ci\u003eNinette's War\u003c\/i\u003e narrates the family's fall from grace alongside the creeping understanding of the Vichy government's collaboration with the Nazis. Through Ninette's eyes we witness how it all unfolded: from the anti-Semitism in the playground--sometimes from her own teachers--to Ninette's first crush under a false identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Woven into the political backdrop of a nation turning inward on itself, this is the tale of a life once filled with riches becoming rootless, where friends were left behind and politicians legislated their own people out of existence--and to their deaths--culminating in what we now know as the Holocaust.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Jay\u003c\/b\u003e is a former managing editor at the London \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e and the author of one previous book published in Britain, \u003ci\u003eFacing Fearful Odds: My Father's Story of Captivity, Escape and Resistance 1940-1945\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eNinette's War\u003c\/i\u003e is his second book.
