Description

In his letter, Perrot Albert (technical assistant of the municipal roads) provides a certain amount of information, about his family (his father was killed on the French front on October 18, 1918), his religion (he is Catholic) and the family of his wife (Jewish and French). These details serve to explain the case of his daughter who could not be baptized, as he wanted, because of the war. Albert served in the South of Tunisia, the Army zone, and his brother-in-law was mobilized in Syria. His daughter could therefore only be baptized Catholic late, at the time of the Jewish census (September 9, 1941) because he wanted to “demonstrate his non-belonging to the Jewish religion”.
