In 1942, SOE officer Maurice Pertschuk landed in France to aid the Resistance. By 1945, he was hanged at Buchenwald, days before its liberation. In The Moon in Splinters, his niece uncovers his lost story—of poetry, courage, betrayal, and a secret Resistance network—revealing a darker ending than history recalls.
In 1942, a 20-year-old British SOE lieutenant rowed ashore on the Côte d’Azur with orders to report to the French resistance. He was betrayed and 3 years later hanged at Buchenwald, 13 days before its liberation. Friends rescued the sheaf of poems he’d scribbled on scavenged paper and published them as “Leaves of Buchenwald.”
