The Jews involved in the Jewish section<\/a> of the M.O.I. had particularly strong organizations at their disposal, such as \u201c “Solidarit\u00e9<\/a> ” andthe UJRE<\/a>, which organized their fight against Nazism and its collaborators politically, technically, and logistically. Because their struggle was conducted in secret, the exact number of resistance fighters is unknown. <\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

From the moment war was declared\u2014and particularly beginning in September 1940\u2014these Jewish immigrants carried out effective actions: helping those in hiding and the most vulnerable families, distributing leaflets<\/a> and underground newspapers, and protecting Jewish children. They called on the French public to take action and, throughout the war, were actively involved in the Resistance. <\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The Jewish Resistance is not represented solely by the M.O.I.<\/a> Other Jewish movements have also demonstrated their determination: the \u00c9claireurs Isra\u00e9lites de France (EIF<\/a>)  <\/strong>and the group on Amelot Street (known as the Amelot Committee)<\/a> fought against enemy forces and hid Jewish children, as didthe \u0152uvre de Secours aux Enfants ( <\/a>OSE).<\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Several very active networks (Garel<\/a>, Andr\u00e9<\/a>, Marcel<\/a>, etc.) and the Women\u2019s International Zionist Organization (WIZO<\/a>) also organized the rescue of children.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The FTP-M.O.I.<\/a>, a fighting force created by the French Communist Party ( <\/a>PCF) in 1941 and established in 1942, emerged very early on, much like \u201cSolidarity.\u201d The armed struggle began with isolated, symbolic actions before evolving into full-scale urban guerrilla warfare<\/a>.  <\/strong>or guerrilla forces<\/a>. There were numerous direct attacks on military targets. The   Overview<\/a><\/span> <\/span>of the FTP-M.O.I.\u2019s actions is impressive: derailments of enemy trains carrying military equipment, German-occupied command posts set ablaze, weapons depots destroyed, hotels requisitioned by the army stormed\u2026<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

These women and men were driven by an ideal of justice and freedom, by their love for the French Republic, and also by their determination to fight against fascism<\/a> and Nazism<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
