New Poulard book, "The Champagne Cel ars of Mareuil,"
recounts French vil age's occupation during World War II
Political science instructor was born in Mareuil just weeks before the conflict's outbreak
Jean Poulard, Ph.D., professor of political science at Indiana Univer- sity Northwest, was born in a small French village, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in the weeks preceding the outbreak of World War II. His earliest mem- ories are of the German occupation of his village and of its eventual liberation by Gen. George S. Patton's Third Army. In his new French-language book, "Les Caves du Mareuil: L'histoire d'une famille et d'un village 1939-1948" ("The Champagne Cellars of Mareuil: The Story of a Family and a Village 1939-1948"), Pou- lard recounts the people and day-to-day life in Mareuil during that tumultuous period. The book, recently published in France, is both a memoir and a thoroughly detailed history of one village's wartime occupation as experienced by its civilians. "These events have left indelible images on my brain, which are like pictures or video clips that I can see again vividly when my thoughts return to this distant past," Poulard writes in the book's preface. In March 2011, a few days before departing for France to attend a salon du livre, a book fair, in Paris, where he would sign copies of "The Champagne Cellars of Mareuil," Poulard reflected on his expe- riences researching and writing the story of his hometown. "It had been floating in my head for years," he said. "And then, as I say in the preface of the book, Norbert Adam, an old friend of mine I, they were utilized as military hospitals. During from my French high school published a little book, and it's mostly World War II, the cellars became a sanctuary for about his first memories.

I only remember that I was afraid to be in the dark or to go in the water of the Marne River, even when my sisters held me; and I had a real phobia about spiders! The German soldiers who were quartered across the street from my house did not scare me, and I did not ask myself what they were doing there. The notion of enemy was still unknown to me. I could not comprehend what war and death were at such a young age." The portrait Poulard paints of the German occupiers is textured and, at times, sympathetic.
