When that woman is Yvette Z'Graggen, writer and journalist, then the exercise can still enrich public opinion today. If it exists, of course. The enrichment, on the other hand, comes at the end of the story. <em>The silent years<\/em>, is certain.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#1d296c;\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/2018\/05\/09\/yvette-zgraggen-a-trailblazer\/\">\u00abYvette Z'Graggen, a pioneering woman\u00bb<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>There is no question of a historian's work. This is neither the intention nor the pretension of this woman of letters, an emblematic literary figure of the twentieth century.<sup>th <\/sup>century. Rather, it's a work of memory, an attempt to rediscover the intimacy of the time and to bring it into resonance with the concerns of a young woman geographically at the center of the conflict and physically isolated from the bloody events of the Second World War. An urgent desire to question the reader, to lead her to consider the less glorious episodes of Switzerland during a period of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rigor, simplicity, while avoiding dryness. Say enough, but not too much. Find not only the right word, but the one that suggests it. Leave room for the reader's imagination, think of the reader and treat him or her as a partner. Conceive the story as a dialogue, not as that overly subjective monologue I used to lose myself in when I was nineteen.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Dark years<\/h3>\n<p>This starting point clarifies Yvette Z'Graggen's intentions. <em>The silent years<\/em> offers the reader a sincere, human immersion in a gray area of the Swiss Confederation. A constant back-and-forth between three different situations: the writer's present at the time of writing in the 1980s, her youth, which she evokes in a very free manner, and the perspective of a journalist trying to recover intimate and factual memories of the 1942-1943 period. The book also highlights a fundamental question: what information reached the interior of the country during the Second World War?<\/p>\n<p>Yvette Z'Graggen has painstakingly scoured the archives of the late daily newspaper <em>Switzerland<\/em> and also drew on the questions posed by Zurich-born Alfred H\u00e4sler in his book <em>Switzerland, land of asylum?<\/em>. It should also be noted that she wrote her book \u00abin reaction\u00bb to the film <em>La Barque est pleine <\/em>by Markus Imhoof. In it, the filmmaker describes the refoulement of thousands of Jews at Switzerland's borders. The writer parallels the articles in the newspaper, the observations in the book and her daily life at the time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#1d296c;\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/2018\/05\/16\/giovannas-eldorado-to-todays-migrants\/\">\u00ab\u00a0<em>Eldorado<\/em>, from Giovanna to today's migrants\u00bb.\u00bb<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Despite my best efforts to put it out of my mind and move on, I couldn't let it rest. Once again, the war that had poisoned my youth was catching up with me, questioning me. I saw again Jozefa's gaze in the sinister Auschwitz corridor, the barriers of the border bridge being raised, all these events that had brushed past me without my being involved in any way. And in my mind, two questions were becoming increasingly clear:<\/p>\n<p>\u00abIf I had wanted to, could I have been informed about what was happening to the Jews? Could I, if I had wanted to, have realized that Switzerland was carrying out refoulements, sending people to their deaths?\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>To find out, there was only one way: to consult back issues of the newspaper I was reading at the time. Have the patience to go back through them one by one, pick out any articles and, if there were any, try to find out why I hadn't remembered them.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>A book of love and reflection<u><br \/>\n<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Yvette Z\u2019Graggen \u00e9crit ainsi r\u00e9trospectivement la l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9 de ses vir\u00e9es en bicyclette \u00e0 travers la Suisse, son refus des convenances sociales, son indiff\u00e9rence presque coupable durant ses vacances face aux \u00ab\u00a0dames du Grand-H\u00f4tel\u00a0de Brissago\u00bb \u2013 en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9es juives, le quotidien de la jeune femme qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait alors que tous les pays frontaliers s\u2019embrasaient dans le conflit mondial et, enfin, la d\u00e9couverte de l\u2019amour et du plaisir charnel dans un contexte de guerre. Elle d\u00e9crit notamment avec plus de d\u00e9tails deux relations qu\u2019elle a entretenu avec des Allemands\u00a0; faisant le pari de l\u2019humain plut\u00f4t que de l&rsquo;uniforme. Elle s&rsquo;arr\u00eate encore longuement sur l&rsquo;image d&rsquo;une Suisse au-dessus de tout soup\u00e7on, accueillante, dans laquelle elle vivait en paix.<\/p>\n<p>Three points of view on the period in question are superimposed: that of the journalist, that of the writer and that of a woman. The whole forms a narrative somewhere between novel, memoir and essay. The reader is invariably questioned by the journalist's rigor and carried away by the novelist's breath. The emotional coexists easily with the factual, and the style is at times reminiscent of reportage while using the narrative codes of the novel.<\/p>\n<p>Un livre \u2013\u00a0vous l\u2019aurez sans doute compris \u2013 dont le propos r\u00e9sonne encore aujourd\u2019hui, crie m\u00eame, et dont la d\u00e9marche, malgr\u00e9 le changement \u00e9vident d\u2019\u00e9poque et de contexte, pousse encore \u00e0 la r\u00e9flexion. Un livre qui est l\u00e9g\u00e8rement grave. Un livre qui revoit l\u2019insouciance du pass\u00e9 par la fen\u00eatre de la raison. Comme une balan\u00e7oire de jeunesse oubli\u00e9e, rouill\u00e9e, caboss\u00e9e qui aurait travers\u00e9 le temps malgr\u00e9 les drames et qui retrouverait de sa superbe apr\u00e8s une p\u00e9nible travers\u00e9e du d\u00e9sert de l&rsquo;oubli. Un livre, finalement, qui montre toute la force po\u00e9tique des r\u00e9cits d\u2019Yvette Z\u2019Graggen.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>November is a month I love. Those big, gray, mist-laden clouds crossing the sky, trailing along the crest of the Jura, clinging to the trees from which the last leaves are peeking out. The pungent smell of the earth, this transfigured lake, transformed into a beautiful, angry Nordic sea... From all this emanates a melancholy that transforms, deep inside me, into a kind of exaltation, a state of poetry. It seems to me that I'm dying with nature, and that there's an exceptional intensity in these last moments. That everything I've known before is gathered there, within reach of my senses, all past sensations, even those of early childhood, reunited there, in these days that are slowly slipping into winter. Never like in November do I feel how much I love life, how worthwhile it is to try to catch it in the net of words, so that something remains of it, traces, like an echo of our footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>It was during this month of November 1942 that the war turned, but we didn't know it yet. Italian troops arrived on the borders of the canton of Geneva. The free zone was wiped off the map. France's martyrdom had only just begun.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><i>Write to the author : <a
