Resist:
A maquisard -- member of the French resistance -- shields himself from German fire. Ordinary people, Maquis fighters risked their lives every day.
A Call to Action:
When German troops invaded France, ordinary men, women and students mobilized. A network of underground resistance groups -- the Maquis -- coordinated this dangerous work. Resistance groups arranged escapes and provided shelter, false identities, food and clothing for Jews, prisoners-of-war, and downed Allied pilots.
Anyone could, and did, help. Railway workers disrupted German transport, doctors hid Jews in clinics and transported them in ambulances, and the media -- using anonymous writers and underground publishers -- rebutted German propaganda to symphathizers inside and outside France. |
