Paris, 1944

[NutmegCT]

August 25, 1944.

The opening statement by de Gaulle: "Paris outraged. Paris martyred. Paris broken. But Paris - freed.

On that day, he - and thousands of other Parisians - went to mass at Notre Dame cathedral. Snipers continued firing on the streets.

The Maquis were some of France's best.

I am going to a seminar at the local college to hear a talk by Marthe Cohn. She was a French resistance fighter during German occupied France. She is 100 years old. I am looking forward to meeting this remarkable woman.

She is the author of the book:
"Behind Enemy Lines: The True Story of a French Jewish Spy in Nazi Germany"
