秘密村庄：维希法国的抵抗运动
(uk) Caroline Moorehead
High in the mountains in the middle of France's southern massif stands a small group of remote villages united by a long and unique history. During the Nazi occupation, residents of the plateau rescued thousands of people from concentration camps. As victims of Nazi persecution (Resisters, Freemasons, Communists and Jews, many of them children) arrived in large numbers, the inhabitants of these villages rallied to keep them safe. Carolyn Moorhead sought out and interviewed many of the people involved in this extraordinary undertaking. This is a story of courage and determination, of a heroic few who risk their lives to save others, and of what can be done when people unite against tyranny.
