Summary: | The early years -- 1939: The undesirables -- 1940: Refugees and resistance -- 1941: The Casablanca connection -- 1942: Stateless Morocco -- 1943: Liberating the camps -- 1944: The right to have rights -- 1945: The shock of recognition -- After the war. "Years of Glory offers a rich narrative and a deeper understanding of the complex currents that shaped Jewish, North African, and world history over the course of the Second World War. The traumas of genocide, the struggle for anti-colonial liberation, and the eventual Jewish exodus from Arab lands all take on new meaning when reflected through the interstices of Benatar's life. A courageous woman with a deep moral conscience and an iron will, Nelly Benatar helped to lay the groundwork for crucial postwar efforts to build a better world over Europe's ashes"-- |
