FAMILIES

Convoy 73
Eve Line Blum-Cherchevsky
Eve Line Blum-Cherchevsky is Abraham Cherchevskyi'sdaughter. Her father was deported among 878 men on 15 May 1944 from the French camp of Drancy to an unknown destination. She continues her testimony for memory, started two years ago with a first book. Two new volumes (725 pages) of « Nous sommes 900 Français » (We are 900 French men) relate the unique odissey of this convoy to the nazi camps in Estonia and Lithuania. The evidences provided by the survivors of the families who could escape from death, the difficult enquiries to rebuild the true story, later, travels for souvenir, are described. Photographs, copies of original documents are associated to produce a book of « pious fidelity » which also appears as the work of an historian.
