Description
Varian Fry's account of his time in Marseille during World War II is a harrowing and thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of war. In 1940, Fry was sent to France by the American Rescue Committee to assist with the evacuation of refugees from Nazi-occupied territories. Fry's work involved collaborating with local networks to create escape routes and provide false documentation for those in danger of being arrested by the Gestapo. However, he also found himself caught up in a complex web of international politics, where the threat of extradition to Nazi Germany loomed large. This book offers a unique insight into Fry's experiences during this period, shedding light on the moral dilemmas and difficult choices faced by those involved in the rescue efforts. Through Fry's account, the consequences of the armistice agreement between France and Germany are laid bare, highlighting the precarious nature of life for refugees under Nazi rule.
