Download In Defiance of Hitler: The Secret Mission of Varian Fry AudioBook Free
On August 4, 1940, an unassuming American journalist called Varian Fry made his way to Marseilles, France, hauling in his storage compartments the names of around 200 designers and intellectuals - all enemies of the new Nazi regime. Like a volunteer for the Emergency Save Committee, Fry's quest was to help these refugees flee to basic safety, then return home two weeks later. As more and more people arrived to him for assistance, however, he understood the situation was much worse than anyone in the us got suspected - and his role far greater than he had imagined. He remained in France for over each year, refusing to leave until he was forcibly evicted. At the same time when most People in the usa ignored the atrocities in European countries, Varian Fry employed in covert operations, putting himself in great threat, to save lots of strangers in a foreign land. He was instrumental in the recovery of over 2,000 refugees, like the novelist Heinrich Mann and the designer Marc Chagall.
