Around the Marcel network
After launching the collection “Histoires du Réseau Marcel” (Stories of the Marcel network), gathering the stories of Abadi children hidden during the war by the Marcel network, the association is extending its collection to the friends of the Abadis.
Many people who were not children hidden by the Marcel network nevertheless have a story to tell: the story of their childhood during that period, of their family, or simply of moments shared with Odette and Moussa.
The collection is available on YouTube (in French).
Victor Kuperminc
Victor Kuperminc is not, strictly speaking, a hidden child. But he is a Friend of the Abadis and has always been our association’s treasurer; above all, he shares his life with Marthe, who was a hidden child and has already told her story in our collection “Histoires du Réseau Marcel”. Victor’s story during the occupation is nonetheless exceptional too.
We went to record Victor at his home, and it is with great emotion that he shares his story with us.
Victor Haïm
Victor Haïm was a hidden child – not by the Marcel network, but a child who nonetheless had to flee Nazi barbarity to save his life. A playwright, screenwriter, actor and friend of Moussa’s in his day, Victor is an active member of our association.
We went to meet Victor at his home, camera ready. Passionate and committed, he shares with us part of his story, as well as his opinions – always frank and sometimes biting.
