A Portrait of Pacifists: Le Chambon, the Holocaust and the Lives of Andre and Magda TrocmeThis biography tells the story of Andr and Magda Trocm , two individuals who made nonviolence a way of life. During World War II, the southern French town of Le Chambon sur Lignon and its surrounding villages became a center where Jews and others in flight from Nazi roundups could be hidden or led abroad, and where children with parents in concentration camps could be nurtured and educated. The Trocm s' courage during World War II has been well

This biography tells the story of Andr and Magda Trocm , two individuals who made nonviolence a way of life. During World War II, the southern French town of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon and its surrounding villages became a center where Jews and others in flight from Nazi roundups could be hidden or led abroad, and where children with parents in concentration camps could be nurtured and educated. The Trocm s' courage during World War II has been well documented in books and film, yet the full arc of their lives--the impulse that led them to devote themselves to nonviolence and their extensive work in the decades following the war--has never been compiled into a full-length biography.

Based on the Trocm s' unpublished memoirs, interviews, and the author's research, the book details the couple's role in the history of pacifism before, during, and after the war. Unsworth traces their mission of building peace by nonviolence throughout Europe to Morocco, Algeria, Japan, Vietnam, and the United States. Analyzing the political and religious complexities of the pacifist movement, the author underscores the Trocm s' deeply personal commitment. Regardless of which nation was condoning violence, shaping international relations, or pressing for peace, and regardless of whose theology dominated the pulpits, both Andr and Magda remained driven by conscience to make nonviolence the hallmark of their life's work.

Perfect gift!
Bought one of these for my father, and one of these for my uncle for Christmas. They both like how they weren’t flimsy, stayed in place, and kept a minimalistic aesthetic. I like, knowing that they have a place to keep their important belongings as they’re getting older, and seem to be misplacing things often.
