Raymond Aubrac: How I tricked the Gestapo
Raymond Aubrac, 97, on his encounters with Resistance leader Jean Moulin
The capture of French Resistance hero Jean Moulin is one of the country's darkest chapters of the war. The last surviving Resistance leader, Raymond Aubrac, recalls that night and the audacious escape that followed.
Of all the momentous events that helped build the legend of the wartime French Resistance, one episode outstrips the rest for its combination of tragedy, mystery and high-octane drama.
In France they refer to it simply as the "raid on the house in Caluire". To the rest of the world, it is the story of how the Gestapo finally laid hands on Jean Moulin.
I read this because of my interest in the second world war and the horrors of the exterminating camps but
ALSO read in it
some LEADERSHIP STUFF
about the leader of the French Resistance -- and I believe in this:: "But it was his way of discussing matters that was so interesting. Never once did he use the way of authority. Don't forget he had real power - over money, over communications, over all the agents.
"And many in the Resistance could have seen him as an enemy. But he never forced his ideas on people. Instead he used a kind of Platonic discussion method, so that all views were aired."wow
Someone I know said
"That shall not be the way among you ..........."
