Publisher's summary

VieVie La Fontaine begins with an encapsulated history of the rise of Adolf Hitler in post World War I Germany. At the same time that he starts his ascent, a beautiful and talented young woman, VieVie La Fontaine, continues to enjoy her life of wealth inside of Paris. This haunting story attempts to demonstrate the fear, terror, denial, and depravity of Europe as a madman rises to control most of the world. Told by a young Jewish man named Mark Lichter, the irony of the entire situation cries from the pages. Mark is pulled from university at Hamburg in Berlin. A driver transports him to old family friends, Louie and VieVie La Fontaine, who live in Paris. Mark realizes that he has never heard their names. Security, comfort, and safety are ripped from his hands just as almost every Jew in Germany experienced.

Arrival at the palatial home does not create the joy he anticipated. Instead, Mark now experiences extreme guilt for leaving his folks behind. His selfishness for protecting his well-being will haunt him for the rest of his life. Mark rationalizes that he has no control over the situation, so he should enjoy his new life until reunited with family.

Glad to be away from law studies in Berlin, the young German receives the chance to perfect his love for painting. Following his mother’s talents, instead of those of his father, has always dominated his dreams. His first night, another dream presents to him. As he watches his beloved Jewish people walking toward a desolate building, he is unable to gain entrance but knows what happens there is horrible. The face of his parents and hundreds of innocent men, women, and children create fear and distress for the young man. The listener is given a glimpse into the struggles of young people at that time.
