In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, let us remember the horror and inhumanity of the “Final Solution.” But let us also remember the glimmers of humanity offered by those men and women who volunteered to help Jews escape the Nazis despite the risk to themselves.

Let us also remember the men and women of Dutch-Paris who died as political prisoners in concentration camps – or shortly after being liberated because of maltreatment in the camps – because they belonged to a resistance network that sheltered Jews from the Nazis.

This is a partial list of resisters connected to Dutch-Paris who are known to have died in the concentration camps. Others were killed in ambush or trying to escape or in prison in Belgian. It does not include the names of fugitives who were captured while Dutch-Paris was trying to help them, but only because the information is not known.
