WORLD PREMIERE: OFFICIAL BOOK LAUNCH
PRESENTED WITH VILLA ALBERTINE
Celebrated French author Lola Lafon launches the English language translation of When You Listen To This Song, a meditation on a night she spent alone in the annex where Anne Frank, writer of the famous diary, and her family hid from the Nazis between 1942-1944. Lafon uses her unique experience to find the person at the heart of the venerated and exploited myth.
Lola Lafon discusses her vision of Anne Frank with Maurice Samuels, author of Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair.
