During the occupation of France in WWII the villages around Le
Chambon-sur-Lignon pulled off an astonishing and largely unknown
feat. Risking everything, they underwent a long-running battle of
nerves and daring to hide 5,000 men, women and children, 3,500 of
them Jews, from the Nazis and their Vichy stooges. Despite the
danger, a whole community rallied together, from the pacifist
pastor who defied orders to the glamorous female agent with a
wooden leg, from the 18-year-old master forger to the schoolgirl
who ran suitcases stuffed with money for the Resistance. Told using
first-hand testimonies of many of the survivors and face-to-face
interviews conducted by the author, A Good Place to Hide is the
thrilling story of ordinary people who thwarted the Nazis and
sheltered strangers in desperate need.
