Yvette, 1943 : travailleuse civile sous l’occupation

Nantes

Actors become journalists in this documentary play, piecing together the life of Yvette, a 22-year-old Nantaise who died working in Vienna in 1943. Her story opens a window on the 80,000 French women sent to Nazi Germany as civilian laborers, a chapter long buried in silence. The performance is followed by a discussion with the historian who uncovered her fate and Yvette's own daughter.
