00:00I would like to read the letter of Francine Alfandari

00:07In response to the solicitation that Gerard had addressed to her

00:11wishing a participation possibly of members of the Alfandari family

00:17Dear Gerard,

00:19Thank you for your message that touches us a lot

00:23I regret that the members of the Alfandari family, Farid

00:27are not able to attend this evening

00:30We are scattered in America, in England and in Israel

00:35There is even a German cousin of Arlette who lives in Germany

00:39The cousins in France are mainly in Paris

00:43Arlette Farid was born on September 17, 1932

00:48Anouk Aimé was born a few months before Arlette

00:53And my mother was born a few weeks after Arlette

00:57All three were born in Paris

01:00With the disappearance of Anouk Aimé

01:03It is impossible not to think of the life that Arlette could have had

01:08My mother spent the years of the war with us
