Dora Bruder by Patrick Modiano

In 1988 Patrick Modiano stumbles across an ad in the personal columns of the New Year's Eve

1941 edition of Paris Soir: “Missing, a young girl, Dora Bruder, age 15, height 1 m 55, oval-shaped

face, gray-brown eyes, gray sports jacket, maroon pullover, navy blue skirt and hat, brown gym

shoes.”

Placed by the parents of Dora, who had run away from her Catholic boarding school, the ad sets

Modiano off on a quest to find out everything he can about her and why, at the height of German

reprisals, she ran away from the people hiding her. There is only one other official mention of her

name: on a list of Jews deported from Paris to Auschwitz in September 1942.

What little Modiano discovers about Dora in official records and through remaining family members

becomes a meditation on the immense losses of the period—lost people, lost stories, and lost

history. Modiano delivers a moving account of the ten-year investigation that took him back to the

sights and sounds of Paris under the Nazi Occupation and the paranoia of the Pétain regime. In his

efforts to exhume her from the past, Modiano realizes that he must come to terms with the

specters of his own troubled adolescence. The result, a montage of creative and historical material,

is Modiano's personal rumination on loss, both memoir and memorial.
