Paris, 1940: Agnès Humbert, a respected art historian, took a leap of blind faith and reckless courage. With the help of a few colleagues, she formed a keystone group within the French Resistance to the German Occupation, very likely the first of its kind. Indeed, the group’s newsletter, Rèsistance, gave the movement its name. The next year, the group was betrayed to the Gestapo. Seven of the men were executed by firing squad. The women were deported to Germany as slave workers.
Agnés Humbert’s secret journal, translated for the first time into English, describes these events with immediacy, intelligence, and humor.
