Lecture - Marguerite FUHRMANN, an Alsatian resistance fighter who was sentenced to death and survived Nazi prisons.

When Alsace was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1940, Marguerite Fuhrmann, then 21 years old, chose to join the Resistance. Arrested by the Gestapo in 1942, she was sentenced to death twice by the Reich Military Tribunal. Thus began a long ordeal: nearly three years of imprisonment in numerous German prisons, marked by forced labor, deprivation, and the constant fear of execution. Placed under the secret “Nacht und Nebel” program, she nevertheless survived the hell of the concentration camps and regained her freedom in April 1945. This lecture traces her extraordinary life story through photographs, archival materials, manuscripts, and previously unpublished testimonies. A moving tribute to a courageous woman whose journey embodies loyalty, resistance, and hope. By Jean-Paul Lerch, author and keeper of history, particularly that of Alsace.
