"Who will bear witness? Who will pass on the words of this portion of humanity, reduced to slavery, reduced to an inglorious heroism, inglorious because it had nothing to defend, no cause to celebrate, except that of simple survival and humble love of family, unrecognised, misunderstood and often ridiculed".

Joseph Wresinski, 1982
