Overview

I take pleasure in introducing to the public this book by a true Frenchman, recently come from France through great hazards. This frank, direct testimony about the German occupation of France is as free of pretension as it is free of artifice: it is the truth, spoken by a patriot. The story told by M. Paul Simon cannot be other than moving. First, there is a picture of occupied Paris. The thousand traits which together make up the sad face of Paris, scenes and impressions, thoughts and sentiments, miseries and hopes, are all noted with the precision and observation natural to a lucid, wellinformed man. There is also evidence of the faith and hope held by the French faith in France, hope of liberation. The author thinks and feels simply, as the people of Paris feel and think. These people have never faltered during Frances trials, and from behind the bloodstained curtain, interposed between them and the rest of the world by the oppressor, they have found means to reveal proofs of their resolute resistance. They know the enemy for what he is. In consequence, they behave and fight with courage, with ingenuity, and with such poor means as cruel destiny has left them. M. Paul Simon, courageous editor of a clandestine paper, lived in occupied Paris for a long time. Anonymous men and women pass across the pages of his story they claim our admiration as representatives of all nameless fighters on the French front, and their name is legion. Honest Frenchmen and the friends of France will be grateful to M. Paul Simon for having revealed the true France, which is today suffering but militant, and tomorrow will be triumphant.
