This scarce issue of "Témoignages de Notre Temps" (Witness to our Time), is a loving and moving tribute to Jewish life and culture, that spans ancient times to the early 1930s with the spectre of Hitler and the early persecutions of Jews in Nazi Germany (Hitler became chancellor a few months prior, on January 30th).
