Notes on the biographies

The project’s biographies illustrate the breadth and diversity of the resistance against National Socialism in Germany and the Résistance in France. The biographical approach enables participants to access the history of specific individuals involved in the resistance and the commemoration of their actions.

The biographies with a blue background color refer to the resistance in France. Those with a yellow background refer to resistance in Germany.

Additional material such as photos, documents, letters, interview excerpts, etc. are available at the bottom of each biography.
