Summary/Abstract: Memory, identity, commitment and treason are words at the heart of these reflections on exile as a consequence of the Second World War, a time when countless intellectuals and other personalities felt displaced, dislocated, uprooted and desperate. Revisiting the history of those dark years under the sign of exile is to bring back the perspectives of those who, having lost their identities, still exist as inconvenient witnesses to the period.
