Diana Mara Henry and Gabriel Scheinmann on One Jew Who Fought Back against the Nazis

JL;DR SUMMARY Diana Mara Henry and Gabriel Scheinmann uncover the life of André, a German Jew who became a key figure in the French Resistance against Nazis during World War II. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

They were so gaunt, so emaciated, so frail, that they reminded Israeli government ministers, news analysts, even the President of the United States, of Holocaust survivors."
