Part 8: Why didn’t you destroy us‪?‬ City of Refuge

    • History

As the war came to an end, André Trocmé took on the unpopular task of ministering to German POW soldiers and engaging in reconciliation efforts to prevent further death and destruction. Through this process he came to find out why the Nazis didn’t wipe out Le Chambon and its surrounding villages, like they did to so many others who opposed them.

For show credits, a list of sources, photos and transcript go to the Part 8 episode page.
