My husband, Antoine, was sent to help fight the Germans during world war 2. I didn’t think that I would be able to carry on alone without him, I had to take care of my daughter, Sophie, also which made it more difficult. The only income I had was my teaching job at a school where my friend Rachel and I worked. My father had sent Isabelle, my sister, to escape Paris from the Nazis and to live with me in Carriveau. Along the way, she meets a man named Gaetan and falls in love with him. Gaetan invites her to join the French resistance but leaves her with me.

From there I started to rescue Jewish children whose parents were taken away.

I lost two people dear to me that
