Paris in the 1940s was a place of fear, power, aggression, courage, deprivation and secrets. While the men were either fighting at the front or captured, the women of Paris were left behind where they would come face to face with their German conquerors on a daily basis. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews to ship to concentration camps, the full horror of the war was brought home and the choice between collaboration and resistance became unavoidable. Anne Sebba takes an in-depth look at the daily lives of Parisian women during those dark times, many of whom faced life and death decisions every day.
