It more deals with the daily life and hassle of first evacuating Paris and then dealing with the occupation and having the German soldiers living among them, beign a part of their lives and how their daily life was.
I didn't find it political at all, just matter of fact this is the way different classes have to deal with this crap.

I didn't mean the book's contents being political in this instance. I meant that because the book was written by a holocaust victim, and based on events that led to her death, the book itself being a relic of that supremely tragic event, what critic wouldn't praise it? She may actually have been liquidated for being an intellectual and a writer as much or more than for being a descendant of Jews.
