Abstract
In this work, my purpose is to analyse the interpretation of the past as presented in Anne Cuneo’s historic novel La Tempête des heures and in Sylviane Roche’s & Marie-Rose De Donno’s life story L’Italienne, Histoire d’une vie. The interpreted events took place in Swiss and Italy during and after World War II. In this research I have relied on Tzvetan Todorov’s work Les abus de la mémoire and Paul Ricoeur’s work La mémoire, l’histoire et l’oubli.

Key words: interpretations of past, history, memory, oversight, War, refugees, immigrants, Acculturation, psychological Marginality
