Andree Girard’s experience of the deportation and concentration camps at the height of the Second World War became part of an illustrated serigraph edition of O terre de détresse, a suite of poems written by Lucienne Laurentie while imprisoned at Holleischen concentration camp, with illustrations by Andree’s husband, Andre Girard. Andree never really spoke of this experience in any sustained detail, preferring to focus on the present. This is a brief reconstruction of the events that led to the camps and the serigraph book, which was printed in February 1951.
