In the book "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families," Odette expresses her doubts about the significance of her experiences being documented. As she observes the narrator writing about her story, she questions whether there is a genuine interest in her narrative among American readers. Her struggle reflects a deeper conflict between preserving painful memories and the desire to escape them.

Odette's words highlight the complexity of storytelling, especially for those who have lived through trauma. She conveys both a sense of duty to share her past and an almost wistful yearning for the relief of forgetting, emphasizing the emotional weight that such memories carry. Her perspective invites readers to reflect on the necessity and impact of bearing witness to difficult histories.
