Starting Point

Imagine you’re a girl in your twenties. It’s 1940 and you must flee Paris.

You’re a foreigner. You live with your father and it’s World War II.
What would put in your suitcase?

What will you bring with you to your exile?

Here’s a possible list:

Mom’s letters
Your passport
A set of Modess sanitary belt
A bottle of eau de Jasmin from Coty
Nail polisher
College stuff: your Philosophy cahier
Picture of Daddy

Do you have a Teddy Bear? Ton vieux Nonours?


Am I missing something?
