Women in Resistance – Hidden stories

If everybody can call Jean moulin as resistant, it’s often harder to quote women resistant for the general public. 20% of ranks of the « the army of shadows » were women!
Like Simone Veil, Anette Lajon or Louise Aubrac, they all acted in the silence to allow the allies to do the landings, morning of the 6 June 1944 to make France free again. Since September 2018, the Caen Mémorial Museum decided to propose a tour focus on the role of Women during the World War II. For Nathalie Lemière, the job of Women in the resistantce was not highlighted. She explain that by the lack of testimonies. From the combattante Women to the Women judged for collaboration or the story of the Kirzner’s twins sent in the death room, the museum want to make an hommage.
