The Outcasts is a historical novel about three young people caught up in the storm of the Second World War in France, at the time of the uprising and massacre of the Croats soldiers by their German officers on September 17, 1943, in Villefranche-de-Rouergue. One of the adolescents is Muslim, the second is Catholic and the third Jewish. They meet in Villefranche de Rouergue, a small town in the center of France, and forge a solid bond by discovering that each of them is in similar precariousness: chased by the German occupiers, by the militia of the Vichy government and by the pervasive anti-Semitism in France. Together, they realize that their three religions have more in common than they ever imagined. Together, they managed to join the resistance, with which they participate in operations against the German occupiers until the Liberation. Many years later, at the chance of a meeting in a café, two of them meet and take stock of their experiences.
