Resistance: memoirs of Occupied France

Memoirs of Agnes Humbert who was stirred to action by the awful atrocities she witnessed. She joined forces with several other colleagues to form an organised resistance, very likely the first such group to fight back against the occupation. In the throes of their struggle for freedom, the members of Humbert's group were betrayed to the Gestapo; Humbert herself was imprisoned.
In the throes of their struggle for freedom, the members of Humbert's group were betrayed to the Gestapo; Humbert herself was imprisoned.
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 a firing squad. But through the direst of conditions, and ill health in the labour camps, Humbert retains hope for herself, for her friends, and for humanity.
