François Grimbert becomes a physician, and gradually peels the layers of his buried family history which resulted in his difficult upbringing, raised as Catholic by his "Aryan" appearing parents.

A village elder had given me its owner's name:

Jose de Chambrun,

daughter of President Laval.

This is weird. What is it?

Looks like a little cemetery.

'Barye,' 'Pompey'...

It's not a cemetery for people.

More like for dogs.

And cats, too?

Maybe.

'Brutus, 1908.'

These dogs are old.

What a dumb name.

'Vasco, 1979-1985.'

'Dying was all he ever did wrong.'

They must have loved their dogs.

Rose. Franois.

We're coming, Mommy.

You coming?

In that cemetery, lovingly kept

by the daughter of Laval,

who had sent Simon, Hannah

and all the others to their death.

I thought of telling our story

so we would at last emerge from the silence.

Brutus

Pompey
