Diana Mara Henry - I am Andre, German Jew, French Resistance Fighter,British Spy
Chiselbury Publishing
Diana Mara Henry has written an extraordinary work that includes the memoir written by Joseph Scheinmann as well as her own in depth research into his life and experiences of the French Resistance. She supplies extensive documentation of the SIS and SOE resistance networks. Andre worked to sabotage the Nazi war effort and was betrayed and ended up in the Natzweiler and Dachau concentration camps. He never abandoned his deep humanistic values and integrity and bravely protected his fellow prisoners. Though having to hide his Jewish identity in order to survive he never abandoned his strong Jewish identity.
He brought the skills that he had as a resistance fighter into the leadership role he assumed in the camps, always striving to inspire others to survive and be able to tell their experiences.
Through her extensive research and documentation of the life and times of Andre, Diana Mary Henry has contributed an amazing work that is valuable to holocaust historians, World War II researchers and the general public.
