A true, previously untold story of undaunted resistance to the Nazis. Alfred Auduc awes with his reckless determination to thwart the Nazis even while imprisoned in concentration camps along with his brother and other resistants from his region. The Auduc family provided essential support to the network formed around Le Mans, France, by an American OSS agent and a French SOE agent.
The Auduc's oldest son, Jean-Jacques, became the youngest Resistance fighter to be awarded the Croix de Guerre. He was also awarded the U. S. Medal of Freedom and the French Legion of Honor for heroism as a 12 year old.
During World War II, the French Resistance played a vital role in the Allied victory. Supported by Britain's Special Operations Executive in London, Resistance networks were formed, led and equipped by SOE agents.
 This event is co-presented by the Goethe Zentrum.
