Concerning the male resistant fighters, there were more than 15 arrests.

We had not internalized the importance of organizing ourselves in the underground yet. Everyone knew each other.

Political activities
-
During the elections of 1935, the reactionary government of Nanterre
-
had been replaced by a communist government.
-
During the electoral campaign, there were always meetings in the various neighborhoods.
-
These meetings were called “Le compte rendu des mandats”. My father often took me along.
-
I participated at meetings for the legislative elections
-
in which Waldeck Rocher won against the Comte De Fels.
-
My father also took me to my first demonstration.
-
It was called the “Wall of the Confederates” in memory of the Paris Commune (1870/71).
-
I remember meeting my teacher, a young socialist, at the demonstration.
-
I belonged to the Communist Youth Movement.
-
I was responsible for the distribution of the newspaper “l’Avantgarde” until the war,
-
until the banning of the Communist Party.
-
The Communist Party was banned after the non-aggression treaty between Hitler and Stalin (1939).
-
The treaty was seen very negatively by the population
-
and became subject of propaganda from the French government.
-
When distributing leaflets I was sometimes insulted by the workers.
