In July 1942, more than 13,152 Jews were arrested in Paris by French police at the request of German authorities. This included more than 4,000 children, Henri Bek being one of them. Years later, Bek's childhood friend and fellow Jewish classmate wrote a book about their childhood friendship, immortalising his memory and inspiring others to retrace the life of a little boy lost to history.
