Book Explores Love And Death In French Holocaust

A new book tells the story of a young couple struggling to survive in an evil land ravaged by the Holocaust.

Love and Death in Paris is the debut novel by journalist and author Charles Loebbaka.

Jack Lamont and Katrine Bouchet meet briefly in a Paris museum in 1939 on the eve of World War II, the year before German troops occupy Paris and the north of France.

The Chicago Tribune journalist and the French art history student fall in love amid the horrors of war and the Holocaust as Nazis and French police arrest Jews and others and deport them to death camps in Poland.

Both narrowly escape death before they are reunited, only to be hunted by Paris police for crimes against the bloody Nazi-French Vichy regime.

Their story begins:

I killed. I see red in my mind's eye.

Kill the evil to save the good, an eye for an eye. It says so in the Hebrew Bible. The Code of Hammurabi. Amen.

I never went to Confession to ask forgiveness. Maybe that's why I'm praying in a church pew.

I know that, at any moment, I could be arrested. Or killed.

I told him to meet me for what may be the last time.

Charles (Chuck) Loebbaka began his journalism career as a newspaper reporter/editor covering government, politics, law, crime, and the crime syndicate.

He was an award-winning editor for the Hollister/Pioneer newspapers, free-lance writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, and served as media relations manager for corporate and political clients before retiring after 27 years as director of media relations at Northwestern University.

The book is available at Amazon.com, AmazonKindle, createspace.
