When Hitler's Nazi Germany began to show signs of discrimination against Jews, smart Jews fled their homes one after another. Maurice and Joe's fathers were obviously the kind of smarter Jews, and the appearance of the Jewish star made him sensitively aware that the Jews were about to face disaster. . Although his family did not have much money and could not escape to paradises such as the United States and Switzerland, they still chose the remote French mountains as far as possible. But the Nazis' iron hoofs still left them with nowhere to hide, and they had no choice but to let it go. He had tried his best. The whole family, except my father, lived to the day of liberation. It must be said that it was my father's wisdom and foresight. In the following days, my father has been careful to remind family members and surrounding friends not to speak Yiddish, and not to reveal the secrets of Jews and Italians. The officer ridiculed, "It's for sure that you don't kill women, you hurt their hearts", which is a profound and philosophical joke. Compared to those Jews who had been hesitant to leave their homeland until the whole family was sent to a concentration camp, this family should have the best ending.
Most of the French people in the state of war were simple and kind, whether it was a smuggling guide, a passing car driver, a doctor, a priest, or even the Italian soldiers of the Axis powers, they also showed tolerance to the Jews. Kindness is finally rewarded, "Make good use of your life to do something that makes you proud." It was the doctor's parting words that made Joe bravely say that he was Jewish, and indirectly protected the boss and his wife.
The romance of the French is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Picking up girls starts from a young age. When encountering love, they do not hide, do not hide, do not hide, are generous, bravely pursue, and fully enjoy. At a young age, Qiao secretly fell in love with the daughter of his employer, who was much older than him, and received encouragement and support from his brother. So much so that the same romantic Italian man sighed, "Who makes French women so attractive, so angry at every turn, so exciting."
