Margot Cohn, a member of the French Jewish Resistance in France, who specialised in hiding Jewish children and, if possible, transporting them to jurisdictions out of harm's way (or at least less dangerous).  Many resistants, Jewish and otherwise, paid for their lives for taking part in such activities.  Best regards, JR.

Jewish Resistance, France.

French Resistance fighters march alongside tanks of General Leclerc's 2nd (French) Armoured Division following the liberation of Paris, August 1944.  Note that the Resistance file includes two Paris Agents de Police in uniform.  In the weeks preceding the Liberation, the Communist Resistance successfully accelerated their infiltration of the Paris Police, and the recruitment of Paris policemen to their cause.  As a result, the Germans could expect little "collaboration" from the Paris Police when the critical moment arrived.  In fact, much of the Resistance fighting in central Paris - in particular, at and around the Force's headquarters on the Isle de la Cité - was done by Paris policemen, often using arms that they had received as official issue.  Best regards, JR.

Libre !

Marianne Cohn, member of the Mouvement de la Jeunesse Sioniste and Jewish French resistant, also involved in the rescue of Jewish children and young people.  In May, 1944, she was arrested along with 28 Jewish children under her care and interned.  She refused to co-operate with a plan hatched by her comrades to rescue her because it might endanger the children.  Following threats against the Gestapo agents concerned from the Resistance, the children were rescued.  However, Marianne was not; she was tortured by the notorious Lyon Gestapo and subsequently murdered.  With sadness, JR.
