La Résistance

 From the archive of Agence Eureka...a 1940s era homage to the French Resistance, the antifascist brigade during the Nazi occupation.

Here is an overview from the Library of Congress:

"The French Resistance is a topic much examined by French historians searching to understand and highlight what was a small but fierce minority in France who operated in secret to actively resist and sabotage the Nazi invaders during WWII."

From the remarkable collection of Patricia of Agence Eureka, who is in my thoughts today. 

Our beloved Samy Odin, who operates the doll museum in Paris, tells us on Facebook that he is in London. That is good to know.
