Près de cinquante ans après avoir été publié, voici, retrouvé par le truchement des "Belles Oubliées", un petit texte que Vercors ― l'inoubliable auteur du Silence de la mer ― écrivit en 1944, après avoir eu connaissance du massacre d'Oradour-sur-Glane. Inspiré par l'insoutenable interrogation du créateur devant la barbarie, ce livre, dans la nuit de la mémoire, ressemble à un filament incandescent.
