I found the picture of the woman with the Star of David gave me pause, to think she probably didn’t live to see another year or two after that, but maybe she was lucky.

This is a photograph by Andre Zucca. His pictures have been displayed in museums showing a cynical perspective of Paris life under the occupation. His pictures were for a German publication to reveal the same Paris people knew before the war. I’m directing a high school play that reflects the same cynicism of the indifferent Parisians.
