Description
A remarkable story of courage and determination during World War II, in which a small group of French villagers risked their lives to save thousands of people persecuted by the Nazis. In the southern Massif Central, a cluster of tiny villages came together to defy the occupation, providing a haven for resisters, freemasons, communists and Jews fleeing the concentration camps. The villagers' actions were driven by a deep-seated desire to oppose tyranny and protect those in need. Caroline Moorehead brings to life the unforgettable testimonies of the remarkable individuals who made this extraordinary undertaking possible, shedding light on a previously untold chapter in French history.
