François Noudelmann
Les enfants de Cadillac

“The Children of Cadillac centres on three generations of Noudelmann’s family: his grandfather Chaïm, his father Albert, and Noudelmann himself. The author sets out to research his roots, identity, and his ties to Frenchness through a dive into the silent abyss of what is not said. This testimony presents us with questions about our acceptance of the other and is an essential first offering.”
