A Time of Fear and Survival
Under Nazi occupation, life became an everyday struggle. The French resistance battled against the oppressive regime, inspiring hope in the hearts of many. But for Marie-Louise, as a young Catholic girl, her fight was internal.
She saw firsthand the persecution of her Jewish neighbors and friends, their forced displacement, and the fear that gripped her community. It was a time of constant hiding, sneaking through back alleys, and living in constant fear of discovery.
Strength in the Face of Adversity
Despite the darkness that surrounded her, Marie-Louise found solace in her faith. The local Catholic church became both her sanctuary and her haven. There, amidst flickering candles and whispered prayers, she discovered a strength she never knew existed.
The indomitable spirit of the little French girl sparked a glimmer of hope in those who crossed her path. She became a symbol of resistance against oppression, inspiring others to find courage in their darkest hours.
The Enduring Power of Hope
As the war dragged on, Marie-Louise's world continued to crumble. Food became scarce, bombs rained down relentlessly, and loved ones were lost. But through it all, she clung to hope.
When liberation finally arrived, Marie-Louise emerged from the darkness with scars but also an unwavering belief in the power of love and resilience. Her memoir encapsulates the essence of a generation marked by tragedy, yet fueled by hope.
Legacy and Inspiration
The memoir of this little French Catholic girl serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit. It reminds us that in the face of unimaginable adversity, faith, hope, and love can triumph.
Marie-Louise's story deserves to be shared, cherished, and remembered. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the smallest rays of light can ignite a flame that guides us towards a better tomorrow.
So let us never forget the memoir of a little French Catholic girl who defied the odds, found solace in her faith, and sparked the flames of hope amidst the ashes of war.

After a bullet pierces their front door, announcing the Nazi invasion of France, can a Catholic family with six children survive a fierce marauding army? It may have taken them six punishing years of hardship, hunger, and near-death, but the Gaillet family ultimately emerged triumphant on the safe shores of America.
Hélène Gaillet de Neergaard recounts her journey from life as a young child of a prosperous businessman to a terrified fugitive in France, frequently separated from her parents while confronting war's daily ravages. Very little is known about French Catholic survivors living under German control. I WAS A WAR CHILD shares the death-defying days of a family on the run, who came together amid the famously savage acts of the Nazi army. Compared to THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL by Anne Frank, this book will fascinate a wide readership from young adults to seniors alike. With fascinating details and black and white family photographs saved by Mr. Gaillet daring to brave the occupied north of France in 1942, this stirring look at the historic war will captivate anyone seeking a story of victory, as told by one intrepid little girl.
The story runs from June 1940 when forced to evacuate their house by a bullet through the front door until their safe flight to America in June of 1946.
