test biography
Jenny was born in May 1939 in Charleville. First child of Raphael Fresco and Solange Niego, both original Judeo-English.
In the English peninsula, their ancestors were expelled in the fifteenth century by the crowns of Aragon and Castile to Constantinople.
Then in 1914, Fresco Nessim branch emigrated to France. Followed by the branch Namer.
The end of the First World War left the French Ardennes in ruins. Fresco opened a hosiery store "For modern lace, rue du Palais in Charleville. Victor Namer and his wife Annette, born Fresco, take a shop course Aristide Briand ...
eldest son of Fresco, Raphael makes markets including the Piazza Ducale. Solange share his itinerant work.
When war strikes, must be the Ardennes evacuated for fear that people do not relive the abuse and atrocities of 1870 and 1914-1918. Fresco decide to go to the same city as their refuge neighbor, a butcher: Laval, Mayenne. Their exodus happening voluntarily Fontainebleau, where they take Niego Jeannette, widow and mother of Solange.
8, Route d'Angers Laval will become the new home. Jacky, son of Victor and Annette Namer is the playmate Jenny.
With the war, Victor is mobilized. Certainly he was born in 1913 in Turkey but having done his military service in 1931 under the French uniform, he was recognized French citizen.
As for Raphael, born in 1908, it is still a Turkish citizen but he enlisted in passive defense. Ambulance in Charleville, he returned once put away his Laval.
With the breakthrough at Sedan in May 1940, the Ardennes are still and always put to fire and blood. The synagogue is bombed Sedan. Refugees fleeing the fighting. The Mayenne is submerged in a flood of desperate people and more than 150,000 exiles. Caught in the movement, Jenny and her family abandoned Laval Lonzac in Saintonge. But invaders always go further and faster. Their uniforms pollute the Mayenne from 17 June The armistice was signed on 22. The next day the Germans occupied the Lower Charente. Fresco then return on their steps and find the 8th of the road from Angers to Laval.
Then drop the first anti-Semitic measures. Family, because Jewish is prohibited from any commercial activity. As of June 7, 1942, they need - for those aged over six years - Laval remove a "yellow star "Mandatory and cons discount ticket textile ...
followed raids. Mayenne, a third wave is organized on 9 and 10 October 1942.
The 10 to 6 am, the world became for Fresco. No less than seven feldgendarme (plus their interpreter) come on board for a rally near the stadium Laval then a transport to camp Mulsanne Le Mans.
Behind the barbed wire, stick together:
- the maternal grandmother, Jeannette Niego,
- grandparents Nessim and Eugenie Fresco
- children of the latter, Raphael (with his wife Solange and their little Jenny, 3 years),
- Annette Namer and his son Jack, 4 years (father, Victor, is a prisoner of war in Stalag XIII)
- Sammy, the cadet.
the fourth day, the Germans are 35 Jews out of the camp with regard to their Turkish nationality. In these liberations added that of Niego-Fresco-Namer ... While in reality, only four of them have their names on the files of the Prefecture with the words: "Turks" ...
The family found the 8 Route d'Angers, while the other hit the Holocaust deported from the camp of Mulsanne.
January 24, 1944 remains a landmark. Comes a letter from Paris and signed by the father of Victor Namer. To send this notice posted by the Turkish Embassy, " Starting today, the Turkish Jews are considered the French Jews. "
Raphael seeks immediately how to escape new arrest followed inevitably a deportation ...
A showman Raphael directs to a mechanic Ernee, Pierre Le Donne (notoriously resistant). The latter found a home in Saint-Pierre Landes's farm in the Rousseau family. Annette, Jack and Solomon are welcomed. The rest of the family is living in "Little Pear", a farm belonging to Rollo and Lambert but operated by Fauque. The latter will take all the risks for the persecuted.
This "Little Pear" includes only a single piece surmounted by an attic accessible by a ladder. And Annette, Jack Solomon and eventually rejoin the family. It now bears the name and password to Fauque cousins from Paris who preferred to go green near their families in Mayenne.
Start existence precarious. With the obligation to feed without fueling tickets 9 new mouths while evading the curiosity or even malice and even denunciations. A long wait confines the family behind blankets tight windows and front door entry.
Then the Allies successfully landed in Normandy, but they then seek to hold German lines. 5 August 1944, a resistant Ernée Rene Justin, will guide the Americans. The front line is fluid and "Little Pear" remains between the two enemies three more days ...
Fresco will finally escaped the Holocaust. Those refugees in Mayenne. Alas no uncles, or a sister of the grandmother Fresco, or an aunt Jackie, nor Fresco Lonzac-Reims.
