She describes her own and her husband Miron Zlatin's activities during the Second World War, mainly organization of the orphanage for Jewish children in Izieu. The roundup organized by Klaus Barbie on 6 April 1944 led to deportation of the children to Drancy. Describes Barbie's trial, her testimony, and her purchase of the orphanage house in Izieu where she and others established a memorial museum. Pp. 107-162 contain the depositions given at Barbie's trial by Sabine Zlatin, Gabrielle Perrier (a teacher in the orphanage), and Samuel Pinter (who was a child in the orphanage).
