‘You or I would walk barefoot in the snow to save an unknown comrade from death. We have learned to kill...the traitors’

It is the winter of 1942. Juliette Noël moves silently through Occupied France, trudging across the snowy countryside, working for the Resistance, always just one move ahead of the Gestapo. The painter Alexis Slavsky must conceal his Jewish blood. As he drifts-from Montparnasse to Lyons to the Alps—the precariousness of his Bohemian life becomes intensified by the exigencies of war. Russian-born Louise has survived Nazi interrogation and escaped from a concentration camp. Now she lies low in a ‘safe’ house, waiting to rejoin the maquis.

First published illegally by Underground presses, these extraordinary stories of the French Resistance are a moving and shocking testament to the courage of those caught up by the nightmare of war.
