Les écrivains dans la deuxième guerre mondiale - Le Zoom - Didier Béoutis - TVL

There were 197 of them. Their names are engraved in the Pantheon. They were the pride of France. For her, these 197 writers made the ultimate sacrifice. Men or women, famous or little-known, Christian, Jewish, or atheist, right-wing or left-wing, Free French or members of the Resistance, they were pure heroes, strong souls with indomitable courage, as evidenced by the short biographies in this book. All had works in progress and a place in the literary world, which the Germans destroyed through barbaric acts. These writers-fighters are martyrs. In extermination camps or elsewhere, the Gestapo liquidated them in atrocious ways. They were shot, machine-gunned, slowly murdered by being exhausted from work, deprived of sleep, starved, sick and untreated, beaten, tortured, beheaded, or gassed. They did not die in vain. Those who held France dear contributed to its victory. The book "Writers in the Second World War" pays tribute to them.
