I have written a piece in tomorrow’s JC, touching on Barbara’s life as a paradigm of the struggles of Jews in France.

Read it here. And don’t miss Sunday’s documentary.

Here’s a video taster. Barbara solitude.

Barbara said she "wasn’t particularly proud of being Jewish, but seeing how others looked a me differently made me aggressive"
