"'Missing a young girl, Dora Bruder, 15, height 1.55m, oval-shaped face, grey-brown eyes, grey sports jacket, maroon pullover, navy blue skirt and hat, brown gym shoes. All information to M. and Mme Bruder, 41 Boulevard Ornano, Paris.' The author chanced upon this notice in a December 1941 issue of Paris Soir. The girl has vanished from the convent school which had taken her in during the Occupation. She had apparently run away on a bitterly cold night at a time of especially violent German reprisals. Moved by her fate, the author sets out to find all he can about her. Eventually he discovers her name in a list of Jews deported to Auschwitz in September 1942 and what further fragments he is able to uncover about the Bruder family become a meditation on the immense losses of the period - people lost, stories lost, human history lost. Modiano delivers a moving survey of a decade-long investigation that revived for him the sights, sounds and sorrowful rhythms of occupied Paris. And in seeking to exhume Dora Bruder's fate, he in turn faces, and must come to terms with, his own family history."
"In 1988 Patrick Modiano stumbles across an ad in the personal columns of the New Year's Eve 1941 edition of Paris Soir: "Missing, a young girl, Dora Bruder, age 15, height 1 m 55, oval-shaped face, gray-brown eyes, gray sports jacket, maroon pullover, navy blue skirt and hat, brown gym shoes." Placed by the parents of Dora, who had run away from her Catholic boarding school, the ad sets Modiano off on a quest to find out everything he can about her and why, at the height of German reprisals, she ran away from the people hiding her. There is only one other official mention of her name: on a list of Jews deported from Paris to Auschwitz in September 1942. What little Modiano discovers about Dora in official records and through remaining family members becomes a meditation on the immense losses of the period: lost people, lost stories, and lost history. Modiano delivers a moving account of the ten-year investigation that took him back to the sights and sounds of Paris under the Nazi Occupation and the paranoia of the Pétain regime. In his efforts to exhume her from the past, Modiano realizes that he must come to terms with the specters of his own troubled adolescence. The result, a montage of creative and historical material, is Modiano's personal rumination on loss, both memoir and memorial."@en
"Reconstructie van het leven en de tragische lotsbestemming van een joods meisje in het Parijs van 1942."
""Recuperación de la novela emblemática de Patrick Modiano. El 31 de diciembre de 1941, en el perioódico Paris-Soir apareció un anuncio dramático: unos padres trataban de encontrar a su hija, de 15 años. Nueve meses más tarde, el nombre de la muchacha aparece en una lista de deportados al campo de exterminio de Auschwitz. Al filo de estas dos desapariciones sucesivas conocemos el destino de todo un pueblo, de toda Francia y de toda Europa. Pero el tema del libro no es sólo la vida de Dora Bruder, sino la búsqueda del propio autor que trata de reconstruir aquella biografía borrada. 'El recuerdo de sus conmovedores pasajes quedará para siempre en el lector"--Publisher's website."
"Dans une vieille édition de Paris-Soir, celle du 31 décembre 1941, le narrateur lit, par hasard, une petite annonce dans la rubrique "D'hier à aujourd'hui". On y recherche une fugueuse âgée de quinze ans, Dora Bruder. Hier, c'est le temps du Paris occupé, de l'étoile jaune, des rafles et des internements ; aujourd'hui, ce sont les dernières années du XXe siècle, quand ce passé tragique taraude les vivants. Entre le 25 février 1926, jour de naissance de Dora, et le 13 août 1942, date de son internement au camp de Drancy, l'écrivain enquêteur recherche les étincelles de vie qui combattent l'ensevelissement par l'oubli, et les transmet au lecteur avec justesse et émotion."
"A young Jewish girl ran away from a Paris convent in 1941 at the height of Nazi repression. The author discovers in official documents and through remaining family members, some of the facts relating to this infinitely sad and true story."
""J'ignorerai toujours à quoi elle passait ses journées, où elle se cachait, en compagnie de qui elle se trouvait pendant les mois d'hiver de sa première fugue et au cours des quelques semaines de printemps où elle s'est échappée à nouveau. C'est là son secret. Un pauvre et précieux secret que les bourreaux, les ordonnances, les autorités dites d'occupation, le Dépôt, les casernes, les camps, l'Histoire, le temps - tout ce qui vous souille et vous détruit - n'auront pas pu lui voler.""
"The author documents his ten-year search for details about the life of a Jewish Parisian teenager who ran away from her Catholic boarding school and was ultimately deported to Auschwitz by the Nazis, describing the Paris of that time period and reminiscing on memory and loss."
