He's been forgotten somehow, even though he was a key figure in the Resistance. Joseph Epstein was indeed one of its most brilliant minds and leaders, an accomplished tactician in matters of insurrectionary and subversive warfare. He was also a man full of life and humour, whose destiny was embedded in the vagaries of the XXth century – and with a reason: he had the misfortune of being Jewish. Pascal Convert undertook to retrace for us the undervalued part of this standing resistance fighter who was executed by firing squad on April 11th, 1944. Convert's biography takes the form of a letter personally addressed to Epstein's son. A meticulously researched and deeply emotional work. Also a detailed investigation into a man's life and his political commitment; his involvement with the communist International, the Popular Front, the Spanish civil war and the Resistance where we come across Jean Moulin, Raymond and Lucie Aubrac, Joseph Minc, Lise London, Maurice Kriegel-Valrimont, Esther Gorintin...
