Response to Editorial #

It has been a year since Hitler invaded my country, France.  Life here is awful.  We don't get any freedom, though they say we are still "France," just under Nazi rule.  I am so sick of these Nazis stomping over my people's rights.  So I have decided to do something about it.  I have officially joined the French Resistance.  I hide my grandmother's printing machine in haystacks when I know there is a chance that the Nazis will find it.  I also collect messages from around the countryside.  Once, some Nazi soldiers were suspicious of me and asked what I was doing around the countryside.  I told them that I was collecting food for my rabbits.  They believed me.  My mother writes for The Liberation, a newspaper for the resistance.  I type the articles for her.  We are using geurilla warfare tactics.  I will fight these Nazis no matter if it costs me my life.  Already many members have been captured, tortured, and killed.  But I am not scared.  I will protect my family, or what's left of it.
Viva la France!
Helene Delattre, Member of the French Resistance
