Kol Nidre, is a Jewish prayer recited on the eve of Yom Kippur and means: "We repent!" It's also the title of a work by Arnold Schonberg, a refugee composer in the United States, who in 1938 had tried to warn the Old World of its blindness to the imminence of the end of time. Too, it is the strange demand made by my paternal grandfather, Gustave Nordon, an influential personality in the city of Nancy, in his last letter written to his children in March 1944 just before being deported to Auschwitz where he was immediately gassed along with my grandmother, other members of his family and those of another family, which was to become by maternal ancestry. It is an ordeal, an affliction, to go visit the place where most of paternal and maternal sides of ones family perished in the gas chambers.
