Specificatii
Of all the resistance organizations that operated during the war,
about which much has been written, one stands out for its
transnational character, the diversity of the tasks its members
took on, and the fact that, unlike many of the known evasion lines,
it was not directed by Allied officers, but rather by group of
ordinary citizens. Between 1942 and 1945, they formed a network to
smuggle Dutch Jews and others targeted by the Nazis south into
France, via Paris, and then to Switzerland. This network became
known as the Dutch-Paris Escape Line, eventually growing to include
300 people and expanding its reach into Spain. Led by Jean Weidner,
a Dutchman living in France, many lacked any experience in
clandestine operations or military tactics, and yet they became one
of the most effective resistance groups of the Second World War.
Dutch-Paris largely improvised its operations-scrounging for food
on the black market, forging documents, and raising cash. Hunted
relentlessly by the Nazis, some were even captured and tortured. In
addition to Jews, those it helped escape the clutches of the Nazis
included resistance fighters, political foes, Allied airmen, and
young men looking to get to London to enlist. As the need grew more
desperate, so did the bravery of those who rose to meet it. Using
recently declassified archives, The Escape Line tells the story of
the Dutch-Paris and the thousands of people it saved during World
War II. Author Megan Koreman, who was given exclusive access to
many of the archives, is herself the daughter of Dutch parents who
were part of the resistance.
