Synopsis "The Cross of Lorraine"
In the pages of The Cross of Lorraine, France's darkest hours of occupation come to life in this historic novel of love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, suffering and survival. Here we meet the villains, the martyrs and the heroes of the French Resistance- itself a frail child born from the ashes of bitter defeat. The German villains are men like Klaus Barbie- the Butcher of Lyon- and his one-eyed adjutant- Heinrich Biebischeimer. The martyrs include Jean Moulin, who survived his own throat slashing only to die at the Butcher's hand; Boris Vilde, whose courage inspired a natio; and Lisette Arnout, who despite imprisonment and rape still fought to defend the honor of her loved-one's memory. The list of heroes is even longer. But none of them, not the boy from the Village of Rainbows, nor the rail worker from St. Lazare, nor the spoiled child from the Avenue Foch; not even the wine merchant, nor the talented athlete from the shores of Lake Michigan- none of them ever thought that survival made them heroes. For them, Resistance was the only choice. And in time, each of them helped give a nation back its freedom.
