Lucie Aubrac (1912-2007), of Catholic and peasant background, was
teaching history in a Lyon girls' school and newly married to
Raymond, a Jewish engineer, when World War II broke out and divided
France. The couple, living in the Vichy zone, soon joined the
Resistance movement in opposition to the Nazis and their
collaborators. 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. Her book
is also the basis for the 1997 French movie, Lucie Aubrac, which
was released in the United States in 1999. Â Purchase the
audio edition.
