As a young girl, she fought Hitler’s Nazis as a member of the French Resistance. For 74 years, she has refused to step foot in Germany, but that changes when a young history student named Lucie enters her life. Prepared to re-open old wounds and revisit the terrors of that time, Marin-Catherine offers important lessons for us all.

Not to detract from the gravity of her loss or her decision to visit the camp, but if she's 90 then she was only 10 years old at the end of the war. Is it accurate to describe her as a "resistance fighter"?
Merci beaucoup, Colette ❤
