Nine years old and his world had collapsed. It was 1940 and Hitler had unleashed the Blitzkrieg, changing everything. He was forced to abandon his home, his family and his childhood. He began alternate existences of a refugee, prey for the Nazis, part of old French nobility, a resistance participant and a rebellious orphan. 2 p.m. Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables.
