Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy is a great family saga, with its secrets, its greatness and its smallness. A extensive historical fresco retracing a decade of war and German occupation, of collaboration, raids and resistance, right up to the discovery of the death camps and the first disillusioned years of the post-war period.

Sans nouvelles depuis Drancy is the result of 3 years rigorous research into the archives of the army, the police, newspapers and the Shoah Memorial, as well as with the last remaining witnesses, reviewed by Shoah historian Renée Poznanski.
