Book descriptionFormer journalist and publisher, Peter Jose’s book,A Good Place to Hide: How One French Village Saved Thousands of Lives During World War II is a well told story of how one small community in the Auvergne region of France saved thousands of Jewish lives during World War II. The centre of this activity was Le Chambon sur-Lignon, situated on a isolated high plateau which had no strategic significance, was difficult to get to and where the community was mostly Huguenot (Protestant). The community’s Huguenot background meant that the people were used to maintaining a separate identity, sticking together, and keeping secrets. They had a long history of stubborn resistance to authority, following the C16 French wars of Religion.Grose believes that these background characteristics, together with the region’s traditions of hospitality, meant that the plateau community was perhaps uniquely suited for its role in taking in strangers. There were also men and women within the community who took leadership initiatives first to rescue Jewish children from internment, then to hide young men avoiding German forced labour conscription and more Jewish refugees who made their way to the Plateau. (Quite a few French Jews came to Le Chambon for refuge first. They were followed by foreign Jews, who were more at risk than the French because their language set them apart).A committed pacifist, Protestant Andre TrocmГ© preached an electrifying sermon the day after France capitulated to the Germans – вЂwe must fight them with weapons of the spirit’, not with violence. This was the start of active non-cooperation from the whole village in identifying Jews – foreign or French. Instead they took them in, fed them and smuggled thousands to safety in Switzerland.Other key people were Pastor Г‰douard Theis; Head teacher Roger Darcissac, who could never produce an accurate record of all the students at the school for the authorities; вЂa glamorous American female SOE agent with a wooden leg (which she called вЂCuthbert’), who helped to arm and organise the Resistance on the Plateau Vivarais-Lignon; the 18-years-old Latvian Jewish typewriter repairman who forged 5000 sets of fake papers, and whose only ambition was to be a doctor; the 15-years-old schoolgirl whose parents tried to keep her out of harm’s way in Le Chambon, and who risked her life running suitcases stuffed with money for the Resistance; the 17-years-old Boy Scout who ran 20 missions escorting Jews to safety in Switzerland before joining the Resistance’. And there are many more.Boy Scouts were active people smugglers, escorting the refugees into Switzerland. Smuggling the necessary money back into France was organised by a former mayor of Le Chambon who headed the international YMCA and who lived in Geneva during the war.Grose concludes that вЂwhile there were individual acts of courage and humanity all over France, and throughout Europe for that matter, the sheer scale of the Plateau operation dwarfs all others. That is what makes the Plateau story special…It involved a sophisticated money smuggling operation, the creation of a series of institutions to house refugee children, and a forgery bureau that was second to none.’ (p270) The people of the Plateau saved thousands of lives.There was a long period after the war when nobody talked about what had happened. The courage of the villagers was recognised, first by a group of Jewish survivors who put up a plaque in Le Chambon. TrocmГ© himself was awarded the Medal of the Resistance with Rosette, the highest order of that French military decoration. Yad Vashem in Israel initially named some individuals from the village as Righteous among the Nations, and later the village of Le Chambon and surrounding communes were awarded this honour – the only French village honoured this way and only one of two (the other is in Holland).Grose said in an interview that research was extremely difficult. He had to learn French and track and translate the documents in French archives. вЂTruth lies in the contemporary record’. He also interviewed survivors, children who had been вЂtransferred’ from internment camps to safety in the village, school, and community members. It’s an important book and I hope it finds wide readership.Peter Grose’s website is here http://www.petergrose.net/Peter_Grose...A Good Place to Hide: How One Community Saved Thousands of Lives from the Nazis In WWII by Peter Grose find audio pc bookstore book
