Marcel Ladenheim and Olga Masoli
The heroes of THE PARISIAN DANCER

The novel is inspired by the incredible story of Olga, an Italian cabaret dancer who saved Marcel and his brother during the Second World War. 
Marcel's testimony from 2011 finishes with a very profound paragraph: " I feel the need to testify in schools in London about my life in France during the Holocaust. Young English people are very interested, and I explain to them the dangers of racism and propaganda, even in the 21st century."
