Paris Occupation and Liberation! It was the worst of times, and then it was the best of times! (Purposefully reversed Charles Dickens' line). Throughout this tour, we will cover all aspects of this dark period of history: the context leading up to the war and the defeat ; the occupation and collaboration ; their impacts on the French and the Jewish people ; the resistance movement ; the allies and the liberation. We will discuss the main figures: Hitler, Roosevelt, Churchill, De Gaulle, and more. We will see major locations where it all happened. For each spot, I will show you pictures of what it looked like back then. No prior knowledge is necessary, however, I advise parents to use their judgement on whether their children can handle highly sensitive topics. If you would like a tour catered around your family requirements, feel free to reach out for a private tour.
