Rescue and Resistance in France, Both Jewish and Non-Jewish, Part 1

Thursday 5.01.2023

Summary

In the war years, despite the Vichy collaborationist regime, there were many people who risked everything to save others and to resist the tyrants. These sessions will dwell on those who went against the tide. This includes the resistance movement itself, church figures, diplomats, individuals, groups from every walk of life and in one case an entire area that came together to save Jews.
