He will have to explain, for example, why he condemned the Jewish children of Izieu. Listen to the words of one of those children, eleven-year-old Liliane Gerenstein, in a letter scrawled to God before she was taken on the road that led to the gas chambers: "It is thanks to You that I enjoyed a wonderful life before, that I was spoiled, that I had lovely things, things that others do not have...
