- Ep 024 - Fiction. In 2003, a postcard arrived at Anne's home with 4 names written on it, all of them family members who died at Auschwitz. In a fascinating English-language interview, acclaimed French author Anne Berest discusses her new World War II autobiographical novel, "The Postcard."

I just finished reading The Postcard this week . I was interested to learn more about this author. I found this a medicore interview...being of European ancestry i had many more questions. To the author it was a moving, educational story. I cried so many times for the charachters and the people as a culture given current events . Thank you for bringing this book to english speakers. I would write Anne a letter if the address was clear.
I thought this was a wonderful interview, well done! Good, thoughtful questions and wonderfully interesting answers from Anne Berest. Thank you! (And PS the book is wonderful!!!)
I’ve read many books about the Holocaust but this one is so different. I connect to her story; do my family’s genealogy, connecting to my Jewish background. I understand more about cellular memory.
Superb podcast! I’ll be buying the book tomorrow when the shops open.
Thank you for this interview.
Wonderful book.
Thanks to Anne for writing her family’s heartbreaking story.
May we never forget!
The book meant a lot to me. I bought and read two copies, one in English and the other in the original French when it was published in 2021. And of course all of what Anne Berest said in this interview was interesting and compelling. But I wish the interviewer would stop the constant goofy grinning; I find nothing humorous or smile worthy when discussing the murders of her family, the Holocaust, and complicity among many. The Louisiana Channel did what I consider a model interview, one in which the interviewer remains in the background and the author is allowed to speak in her native language. th-cam.com/video/e9g9poWPt5c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5JXSzTE3r3ZlDuw3
