FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Born Raymond Samuel to a Jewish family on July 31, 1914 in the northeastern
Haute-Saone region, he studied engineering in France and the United States.
He and his wife, who died in 2007 at the age of 94, formed one of the first
underground Resistance groups – Liberation Sud – in the southeastern city of
Lyon in 1940, which published Libération, one of the most widely read
underground newspapers.
In June 1943, he was captured alongside Charles de Gaulle’s Resistance chief
Jean Moulin in a Gestapo raid commanded by “The Butcher of Lyon”,
Klaus Barbie, on a doctor’s surgery in a Lyon suburb.
Moulin went on to die after being tortured. But Mr Aubrac was freed in October
1943 when his pregnant wife and a group of fighters ambushed a truck
carrying 14 resistance members from Gestapo headquarters in Lyon.
It became one of the most celebrated of Resistance feats of the Second World
War, and has been the subject of two French films, including Claude Berri’s
1997 movie “Lucie Aubrac” starring one-time Bond girl Carole
Bouquet.
The couple fled to London, joining Charles de Gaulle’s Free French Forces
base. Their daughter Catherine was born there in February 1944.
Returning to France after the war, Mr Aubrac oversaw defining and
reconstruction efforts for the government and went on to run the UN’s
Rome-based Food and Agricultural Organisation from 1964 to 1975.
Asked to define resistance in 2010, during the opening of a school in his
name, he said: “Watch what’s going on, try to understand what’s
happening around you in society. And when you get the feeling there’s an
injustice, react to the injustice without being content just to notice it
but try to do something.
“For me, that’s resistance, that covers small gestures but also some
adventures.”
