France: A Pocket of Resistance in WWII | Focus on Europe

  • 9 years ago
During the German occupation, residents in the small French village of Dieulefit helped save 1,500 Jews and others whose lives were threatened by the Nazis. Today, only a few of those villagers are still alive. One of them is 86-year-old Pascaline Cahen-Magnard. What happened in this village during the Second World War only came to light a few years ago, partly thanks to the testimony of Cahen-Magnard.
