Using French and American govern-
ment, military and court archives,
Robbins documents Thomas' experi-
ence. The book, which the two men
worked on together for almost two
years, includes more extensive footnotes
than most memoirs.

`Troubled Memory'
n Troubled Memory (University of
One Night Only! • Sat April 21 • 8PM
1111 North Carolina Press; $34.95),
Lawrence Powell, a professor of history
at Tulane University,. has brought
together his interest in Louisiana poli-
tics with the spellbinding story of how
one family survived the Holocaust.
In 1989, David Duke, anti-Semite,
Nazi sympathizer, Holocaust denier
and Ku Klux Klansman, was elected to
the Lower House
of the Louisiana
legislature. This
paved the way for a
1990 race for the
United Stares
Senate which he
lost but which gave
him a substantial
campaign treasury,
and a large volun-
teer base.
He used these assets a year later to
win the Republican nomination for
governo r.
Among those in the forefront of the
opposition to Duke were members of
the Jewish community and especially,
Anne Levy, a Holocaust survivor who
was a child when she came to the
United States in 1949 with her parents
and her sister, having miraculously
escaped being murdered by the Nazis.
Powell meticulously reconstructs the
story of how Anne and her family
managed to live through the
Holocaust.
What makes their story unique is
that this family remained intact —
even though they were segregated into
the Warsaw Ghetto and lived through
its liquidation. Powell also details the
complexities of their adaptation to life
in America, including the overt anti-
Semitism they encountered from
Duke and his supporters.
In essence, Powell uses his book to
tell two stories: how Anne and her
family endured the horrors of the
Holocaust and how she mustered the
courage to resist and repel a notorious
American anti-Semite. He combines
these stories in a powerful, memorable
and inspirational narrative.
