This DVD contains a very complete collection of documents and photographs related to the book Ma Famille by Eliane Herz-Fischler. The first two chapters of the book are entitled ''Ancêtres maternels'' and "Ancêtres paternels" and include a discussion, not only of her grandparents and earlier ancestors, but also of the lives of her parents until their marriage in 1935. This is followed by the chapters "1935-1945" and "1945-1963". The book ends with the short ''Épilogue''.
In order to facilitate examination of the contents of this DVD it seemed preferable to proceed in a reverse chronological order, as shown below, starting with Eliane and then her parents and her grandparents.
N.B. Approximate dates are indicated in the following manner: 1930[].
Visual access to photographs and documents is provided first of all by a link to a
gallery which shows small versions of all items. Clicking on one of these small versions will lead to
the
larger version.
In certain cases, when a commentary is provided, there is also a direct link to the photograph or
document.
If direct access to the images is desired they can be found in the directories and sub-directories
on
this DVD. For example there is a directory
called [ELIANE_1943-1963] and this contains three sub-directories, for example
[CHERONNAC] which covers the period from her birth in 1943 until just before her family's return to
Paris in 1945.
