«Quand les enfants Finaly devinrent une affaire d'état» is the children's novel by Yaël Hassan, published by Scrineo in paperback (160 pages, in French).
After their parents' deportation, brothers Robert and Gérald Finaly, aged 4 and 3, are left in the care of a nursery director in Grenoble. When the children's aunt tries to reclaim them, the director refuses to return them and orders them baptized; the flight lasts eight years through convents and monasteries in France, Switzerland and Spain.
Recommended for child readers aged 6 to 8 and for those seeking a fictionalized approach to a real episode of the European post-war period.
