In 1937, as the Nazi Party tightened its grip on the city of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), Justus Rosenberg's parents decided to send their son to Paris, where he would have the hope of finishing high school and going on to university in safety. He was 16 years old, and he would not see his family again for 16 years more. When the Nazis pushed toward Paris in the spring of 1940, Justus was forced to flee south to Toulouse. There, a chance meeting put Justus in contact with Varian Fry, the American journalist who ran a refugee network that aided several thousand Jews in escaping Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. With his German background, understanding of French culture and fluency in several languages, Justus was ideally positioned to thrive in Fry's network. Justus would spend the rest of the war working for Fry and later the French Resistance. This is his story.
