It's too bad Ms. None the less, I read it in French, so it was an interesting challenge to read something in French from such a troubled time in history. I do not know how I got this book and it has been sitting by my bedside for a while but I finally got desperate to read something. Page Count: Publisher: Univ. Further, despite the security measures the work does an excellent job of showing the infrastructrue in place for the Resistance, "When you step on an anthill, the surviving ants rush in to put everything back in order and reestablish all connections in their society. As a mother, I found myself questioning: was she right to put her unborn child and her little boy in jeopardy? They know the strength of my love, my determination, my will to prevail. One does not have a meeting with the Gestapo unless they become a collaborator. Outwitting the Gestapo is Lucie's harrowing account of her participation in the Resistance: of the months when, though pregnant, she planned and took part in raids to free comrades—including her husband, under Nazi death sentence—from the prisons of Klaus Barbie, the infamous Butcher of Lyon. In March , the Gestapo arrested Raymond, who was by then using the surname Aubrac. Never underestimate what a mother will do to keep her family alive. This really was a touching piece. Error rating book. Her courage is indisputable. I do think, however, that it is an important read, as their is such limited work on the Resistance due to the security measures in place to work in isolation and use only code names. This memoir was written after the war, since it was too dangerous for Resistance members to keep a diary. A compelling account of the French Resistance in Lyon and detailed retellings of Resistance actions to free prisoners and attack the Nazi presence in France, along with the collaboration of the French government. By the end of , the Germans occupied all of France. Of course, Lucie is flown out of France at the last possible moment to give birth to her second child in London during the nightly Blitzkrieg. Read preview. I don't know the truth of these stories but this was one good book. Friend Reviews. Or who knows maybe they were double agents, but I think they sacrificed the doctor to save their family, as well as other members of the French Resistance.

Well Lucie Aubrac did it all pregnant while caring for a small son. As for the history class Aubrac is teaching during the Resistance, she is addressing ancient history and her Jewish students light up when they hear the names Mesopotamia, Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, Abraham, Moses, etc. The bravery of some people is almost beyond belief.

The last incarceration was the most harrowing: Walking into a trap, Raymond was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to die by Barbie himself. At times, I found the narrative confusing and had to keep looking at the date to see where we were. Jan 30, Ruth Maloney rated it really liked it. The story of Lucie Aubrac and how she was able to spring her husband from the clutches of the Gestapo in wartime Lyon is well known via the s film. Common types of primary sources include works of literature, historical documents, original philosophical writings, and religious texts. I was very impressed by the bravery of Lucie Aubrac and the other members of the French Resistance. Raymond was in prison sentenced to die for his participation in the Resistance. But, overall, I found this book a valuable piece in the jumbled mosaic of which the history of the French Resistance is composed. Who knows maybe some of it's merit was lost in translation. This is the third book I have read on the French Resistance, which I am finding to be a fascinating subject. I found it fascinating, not only because real life stories are often more outlandish than fiction, but also because it provides details of daily life in occupied France. This third book is written in journal form but is giving me much more history about the formation of the Resistance. IndieBound Bestseller. Non-fiction and surreal, considering the difference in how I listened to it now verses several years ago. Outwitting the Gestapo Reviews Stubborn as a mule and clever as a cat, she's rescued her own husband three times from the Gestapo, If get a chance, read this memoir of Lucie Aubrac's involvement with the French Resistance. You know the saying: There's no time like the present I wish she would have chronicled all of her resistance work- like when she rescued her husband from a death camp- but she didn't feel that was important enough to write about- she just wanted to chronicle the last 9 months, in which she rescued her husband from prison Montluc this makes 3 times and was pregnant with her second child. I do think, however, that it is an important read, as their is such limited work on the Resistance due to the security measures in place to work in isolation and use only code names. Throughout this memoir, she relates the details of her quotidian lives, that of teacher and mother, and that of a leader in the French Resistance in Lyon. No doubt, saving your husband three times from various prisons is an amazing feat. Stubborn as a mule and clever as a cat, she's rescued her own husband three times from the Gestapo, earning her the respect of a man within the Resistance. It's been a very long time since a book made me so physically tense. An unknown error has occurred. Lucie Aubrac, the author of this autobiographical memoir, was French. I applaud her. I think she sold the poor doctor who saved her husband to the nazis. It is hard to rate the book. Her book is also the basis for the French movie, Lucie Aubrac , which was released in the United States in In March , the Gestapo arrested Raymond, who was by then using the surname Aubrac. Troubled by the poverty she saw in Paris during the Great Depression, Lucie became an enthusiastic member of the French Communist Party. Non-fiction and surreal, considering the difference in how I listened to it now verses several years ago. It is giving me a big picture of the breadth of the Resistance, both inside and outside of France, as well as in both occupied France and free France. Lucie Aubrac. Although not technically a journal or diary, it is written id the format of a journal. Welcome back. The first half of this book made me question the strong recommendation made by a friend - but the second half made me understand that the preliminary account of quotidian doings was essential to my understanding of the courage it takes to be focused on the urgency and rightness of resisting fascism in any form. Dec 25, Keri rated it liked it. Community Reviews. Even in pregnancy, she took her part in raids to free others, including her husband, trying to get him away from Klaus Barbie. None the less, I read it in French, so it was an interesting challenge to read something in French from such a troubled time in history. Betsy Wing Translator ,. I think Lucie and her husband started off good, with the best of intentions and then were caught by the Gestapo. The tone is flat, the very antithesis of dramatic. The difficulties uniting the units into a common one working together is especially interesting to me. The book details the French collaboration, always a sore spot for the French, the few but dedicated resistance fighters, and the reasons we should all be greatful that the Nazis lost the war. This Day In History. An hour later, as the Germans transported Raymond back to prison, Lucie and several other armed members of the Resistance attacked the van, killing several German officers and freeing Raymond along with 16 other prisoners.

    Henry Kissinger and the Vietnam War Khuong Huu Dieu Secret Meteoric Rise to Power and Fame Henry Kissinger and his friend Fritz Kraemer. Kissinger being sworn in as Secretary of State by Chief Justice Warren Burger, Why in my memoirs do I have a sub chapter on Henry Kissinger, one of the world’s greatest Secretaries of State and a celebrity? Simply because Kissinger’s foreign policy and actions turned my life upside down in 1975, from a middle class engineer in Saigon to a dispossessed and depressed refugee in Marine Camp Pendleton in California. He has changed drastically not only my life but also the life of millions of Vietnamese and Americans. In search for the truth about Henry Kissinger’s actions, I wish my readers will not consider me a bitter vengeful South Vietnamese American or a bad loser in the Vietnam War. On the contrary, I acknowledge that Kissinger’s diplomatic action resulted in my rebirth in the land of the free, a break through unique in my life time! It even gave me an opportunity to write about the truth of his deeds during the Vietnam War. My fact findings came from the declassified top secret documents of the CIA and the NSC (National Security Council.) Kissinger was born Heinz Alfred Kissinger in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany in 1923 during the Weimar Republic to a family of German Jews. In 1938, fleeing Nazi persecution, his family moved to New York. He enrolled in the City College of New York, studying accounting. His studies were interrupted in early 1943, when he was drafted into the U.S.

    DE LA DOULEUR À L’IVRESSE: VISIONS OF WAR AND RESISTANCE Corina Dueñas A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (French). Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dominique Fisher Reader: Martine Antle Reader: Hassan Melehy Reader: José M. Polo de Bernabé Reader: Donald Reid © 2007 Corina Dueñas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT CORINA DUEÑAS: De la douleur à l’ivresse: Visions of War and Resistance (Under the direction of Dominique Fisher) This dissertation explores the notion of gendered resistance acts and writing through close readings of the personal narratives of three French women who experienced life in France during the Second World War. The works of Claire Chevrillon (Code Name Christiane Clouet: A Woman in the French Resistance), Marguerite Duras (La Douleur), and Lucie Aubrac (Ils partiront dans l’ivresse) challenge traditional definitions of resistance, as well as the notion that war, resistance and the writing of such can be systematically categorized according to the male/female dichotomy. These authors depict the day-to-day struggle of ordinary people caught in war, their daily resistance, and their ordinary as well as extraordinary heroism. In doing so, they debunk the stereotypes of war, resistance and heroism that are based on traditional military models of masculinity. Their narratives offer a more comprehensive view of wartime France than was previously depicted by Charles de Gaulle and post-war historians, thereby adding to the present debate of what constitutes history and historiography.

  • Cher Raymond Aubrac, Ses Enfants Jean-Pierre, Catherine, Elisabeth Et
    A Jean-Pierre, Catherine, Elisabeth, les 3 enfants de Raymond Aubrac, à ses 10 petits enfants, à sa famille. Messieurs les députés, Mesdames et Messieurs les élus et personnalités Mesdames, Messieurs, Raymond Aubrac s’en vient rejoindre son épouse Lucie avec qui il a vécu une complicité 67 ans durant et construit ce couple mythique de la Résistance. Nous accompagnons ce dernier retour à Salornay, dans cette Saône et Loire que Lucie considérait comme son pays. Raymond Samuel est né le 31 juillet 1914, comme il se plaisait à rappeler, jour de l’assassinat de Jean Jaurès, juste donc avant le début de la Première Guerre mondiale dans une famille juive, laïque et républicaine de Vesoul. Son parcours témoigne d’une intelligence et d’une volonté exceptionnelle de justice et d’égalité, qui se prolongera toute sa vie. Ingénieur civil des Ponts et Chaussées, après des études à Paris puis une bourse d’études aux Etats Unis, il effectue son service militaire comme officier à Strasbourg quand la guerre éclate. C’est dans cette ville que Raymond fréquente Lucie Bernard qu’il a déjà côtoyé à Paris. Ils se sont mariés le 14 décembre 1939 à Dijon. Actif et donc exposé, Raymond fut détenu à la prison de Sarrebourg (Moselle). En août 1940, Lucie organise une première fois son évasion. Le couple Samuel, devenu Aubrac pour la circonstance, fut une pièce maîtresse de la résistance intérieure, avec un historique que je ne me risquerais pas à vouloir énoncer tant il fut riche, 1 astucieux, déterminé et glorieux, mais dont je dois évoquer sommairement quelques faits.

    Censorship of History in France and the Netherlands (1945-2014): A Survey Antoon De Baets* table democracies protect the human rights of their citizens. The more democratic the regime, the more evidence-based facts and Sopinions circulate freely in the public debates about history. Traces of censorship, however, are sometimes recognizable in restrictions put upon historians living in those democracies, especially in two domains. To begin with, the area of public information and secrecy needs regulation. When secrecy rules for current and archival records are excessive, illegal, or both, they lead to censorship. Furthermore, histories commissioned by governments or others are sometimes subtly adapted to avoid unwelcome messages. In these histories, the precarious subjects are mostly tied to the international wars and internal conflicts of the past—frequently (but not always) in combination with imperial or colonial expansion—that in the long run come to be seen as adversely affecting the democratic NÉERLANDAISES - legitimation of power and the construction of a collective identity, in short, as sources of shame.
