The true story of my mother, a passionate pacifist who worked for the International Peace Committee against Fascism in Paris prior to WW2. At the outbreak of war she joined the Resistance and after being interned in a POW camp, together with a remarkable group of brave and dedicated women, continued to risk her life in hiding Jews and saving them from transportation to the death camps. The underlying personal story of her relationship with a freedom fighter in the resistance, and the child she bore, is one of great sacrifice, betrayal and loss.
