Three years later, France fell to the Germans. Alone and in danger, penniless, and cut off from contact with his family in Poland, Justus fled south. A chance meeting led him to Varian Fry, an American journalist in Marseille helping thousands of men and women, including many artists and intellectuals--among them Hannah Arendt, Marc Chagall, Andre Breton, and Max Ernst--escape the Nazis. With his German background, understanding of French culture, and fluency in several languages, including English, Justus became an invaluable member of Fry's refugee network as a spy and scout. The spry blond who looked even younger than his age flourished in the underground, handling counterfeit documents, secret passwords, black market currency, surveying escape routes, and dealing with avaricious gangsters. But when Fry was eventually forced to leave France, Gussie, as he was affectionately known, could not get out. For the next four years, Justus relied on his wits and skills to escape captivity, survive several close calls with death, and continue his fight against the Nazis, working with the French Resistance and later, becoming attached with the United States Army. At the war's end, Justus emigrated to America, and built a new life. Justus' story is a powerful saga of bravery, daring, adventure, and survival with the soul of a spy thriller. Reflecting on his past, Justus sees his life as a confluence of circumstances. As he writes, 'I survived the war through a rare combination of good fortune, resourcefulness, optimism, and, most important, the kindness of many good people.'" -- Publisher's description 600 10 $a Rosenberg, Justus, $d 1921- 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z France. 650 0 $a Guerrillas $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jews, German $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jews $z GdanÌsk $z GdanÌsk $v Biography. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $v Biography. 600 10 $a Fry, Varian, $d 1907-1967. 610 20 $a Bard College $x Faculty $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Personal narratives, Jewish. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $z France. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z France. 941 $a 24 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409034632.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314020641.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015858.0 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20231227012748.0 952 $l KHPB566 $d 20230126011620.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20220806010253.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728014008.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20220709010240.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062348.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707011857.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013637.0 952 $l FCPB384 $d 20210224024051.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082238.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20200609012605.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529021305.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20200506010204.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20200505013701.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20200314011409.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200314010543.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20200314010119.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200307010232.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200303015045.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200207011138.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200130010231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3AF28C3E432E11EA81CC186F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
