In this edition, we discover a little-known chapter of French history. In 1943, the Germans had occupied the southern French port city of #Marseille. With its working class, immigrant and Jewish neighbourhoods around the Old Port, the city had come to represent everything that Hitler and the #Nazis hated. The Germans, who saw the Old Port neighbourhoods as a hotbed of the French #Resistance, decided to make an example of Marseille. They rounded up thousands of people, including hundreds of Jews who were later sent to a concentration camp, and destroyed an entire district.
