Description
Agnès Humbert was an art historian in Paris during the German occupation in 1940. Though she might well have weathered the oppressive regime, Humbert was stirred to action by the atrocities she witnessed. In an act of astonishing bravery, she joined forces with several colleagues to form an organised resistance. Members of Humbert's group were betrayed to the Gestapo; Humbert herself was imprisoned. Here she describes her time in prison, her deportation to Germany, where for more than two years she endured a string of brutal labour camps, and the horror of discovering that seven of her friends were executed by firing squad.
