Summary
In France of the 1940s, the Nazis were hunting down artists and intellectuals, and many of them, including Max Ernst, Hannah Arendt, Heinrich Mann, and Marc Chagall, found temporary shelter in a house in a suburb of Marseille. There, members… of the American Emergency Rescue Committee hid them and arranged the visas that would give them safe passage out of Vichy France. Harvard-educated scholar Varian Fry led the effort, eventually saving 2,000 artists and intellectuals. 2006.
