Lucie Aubrac-Occupation

I got truly into the occupation in the 80/90s and became so obsessed that I tried to read and watch everything relevant. After a few years off I seem to have got back into the groove again and have become equally obsessed!  Lucie Aubrac about whom a fictional film was made wrote an excellent book La Résistance expliquée à mes petits-enfants which really hits home because that woman so hated being occupied by the Germans-it comes through.  



The book is a perfect backup for those studying Le Silence de la Mer or Un Sac de billes for which there are comprehensive language resources on www.alevelfrench.com/home     Here is a flavour of Lucie Aubrac, a feisty lady to say the least.


The book is made for younger kids but would not be in any way patronizing for A level students particularly with its use of the perfect and imperfect tenses which would help embed language for the average student.
