    To bypass the controlled postal and telephone systems, Resistance fighters entrust their messages to \u201cliaison agents,\u201d who serve as their \u201cmail carriers.\u201d These agents\u2019 missions are varied. They carry clandestine letters that cannot be mailed to those who, for safety reasons, are constantly changing their addresses; they maintain contact between their leaders and various networks, between cities, and with the maquis; and they transport false papers, explosives, and printing equipment\u2026 <\/p>


<\/p>\n

    Meeting locations and times, contact aliases, and information to be conveyed must be memorized. The liaison agent must also often travel long distances on foot, by train, or\u2014preferably\u2014by bicycle, which is the preferred mode of transportation because it allows one to avoid the very frequent checks at train stations and on trains. <\/p>


<\/p>\n

   It is often young people\u2014and very often young women\u2014who carry out these missions because they attract less attention than young men, who are stopped more often.<\/p>\n

It is also less surprising to see young women with children\u2014they are often tasked with \u201chiding\u201d Jews in the countryside. In addition, they must ensure that child support payments are made for these children, to ensure their continued placement with host families, which often involves traveling from village to village. <\/p>


<\/p>\n

   When liaison agents are arrested, they are subjected to inhumane interrogations because the police know that they serve as essential intermediaries. Working as a liaison agent often leads to deportation and death. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
