So who is this Patrick Modiano，why does his memory have such an influence upon him，and what exactly has he uncovered? Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War II ended in Europe in July 1945.His father was a JewishItalian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris. As The New Yorker magazine put it，Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war，but “not the taint (污点) of the war”． Modiano’s life has been influenced by Nazi Germany’s occupation during the war，and his family’s connections to it.According to New Yorkbased newspaper Forward，his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris’s Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps，the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market. |
