Biography

NOTES : Joseph Joffo was born in France in 1931 to a Jewish family. When Joffo was ten, his father gave him and his 12-year-old brother Maurice five thousand francs each and instructions to flee Nazi-occupied Paris by foot, train and bus, and join their older brothers Henri and Albert in Menton on the Mediterranean coast. Joffo and Maurice travelled alone, managing to survive, until liberation. Joffo reunited with his mother and brothers in Paris in the family's barber shop--although sadly not their father, who perished in a concentration camp before the end of the war.
