Speaker on WWII Resistance

Check out the pics of Sabrina and Marine in Rennes below.

Yesterday we had the honor of listening to a speaker who was in Lyon at the time of the Resistance in the second world war. Her father was killed by the nazis and she spent time in a concentration camp. She's 88 years old and a delightful person. We asked her what advice she would like to offer to young people in France or the US and she said the following:
-Think before you act.
-Vote every chance you get.
-Be tolerant, honest and vigilant.
-Work hard.
This speaker really inspired us and made us see how lucky we are.
