This is for school tomorrow. :)
We are continuing to make our way through American history and we are in the middle of World War II. We are going to be talking about the resistance to the Germans tomorrow and I wanted to look at this topic a little bit more in-depth.
I want to stop on this topic because there is this place in Paris, France called the Catacombs. These are underground burial spots, but during World War II, the French Resistance set up headquarters there. Matt and I visited the Catacombs when we were in Paris on our honeymoon, so I want to pull out my pictures tomorrow and show the girls. Here is also an article about them.

Even though resistance took place all over Europe, there was another pocket in Munich that was also significant. A young college girl named Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans distributed leaflets at the University of Munich and were eventually killed for their actions.
