Changing Exhibit
L'Escadron Bleu--Blue Squadron World War II
|
This exhibit tells the story of eleven extraordinary, young French women known as the ESCADRON BLEU— or BLUE SQUADRON—and operated from April to November 1945. Their work was absolutely critical during this period. They travelled tens of thousands of miles, and transported thousands of French men, women and children back to France. They endured enormous hardships; some inconceivable to us in today’s modern world. It is through their perseverance, dedication, loyalty and courageousness that many French nationals were able to finally make it home. |
