A Fifty-Year Silence by Miranda Richmond Mouillot: A Fifty-Year Silence is an extremely moving and personal account into the author's journey to find out what happened between her grandparents in 1948. The pair survived World War II by escaping Nazi-occupied France for refugee camps in Switzerland; however, after five years of marriage and the exhausting events at the Nuremberg Trials, the couple split and never spoke to each other again. Miranda Mouillot abandons her future plans and immerses herself in letters, archival materials, and secondary sources at her grandparents' old stone home in the South of France to understand what happened between them so many years ago.
