European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
There were very few working factories.
-
I got back in touch with my comrades from the Communist Youth Movement and we started…
-
how could I best describe it? The people did not understand anything.
-
They were suddenly imprisoned instead of in a free country.
-
This happened in less than a month.
-
The Nazis crossed the French border on May 10th, 1940 and on June 10th they were in Paris.
-
Everybody was scared and tried to leave.
-
We did not understand how in this country of freedom,
-
where we had everything we wanted, self-sufficient country
-
(its agriculture and its industry), suddenly nothing was left.
-
Ration tickets,
-
we were hungry, cold.
-
So we felt the need to explain to the people why we were in this situation.
-
With this group of young people we were able to assemble, those who had stayed in Nanterre or had come back,
-
we produced posters with a children’s printing set. We then pasted them onto the walls.
-
They would say: “Out With the Invaders.”
-
When we were able to get a duplicator, we started producing leaflets.
-
The resistance started to organize itself.
-
We were in touch with other comrades on a higher level and created the Patriotic Youths Union.
-
We had no weapons at the time, as in Paris we were not able to benefit from the Allie’s parachuting.
