The next "Juno Letters" installment is underway. It will follow the story of Gela from the rural farmlands of Poland in the depression years to France in the immigration wave that unsettled Europe and gave rise to a new wave of anti-Semitism. In France the group of neo-fascists that tried to overthrow the government headed by A Jewish prime minister was called the "Croix de Feu" - Cross of Fire. It is through this vehicle that I will develop the increasing anti-semitism that resulted in the deportation of French Jews, ultimately landing Gela in Natzweiler where she meets Marianne.
Target date - January, 2014.
