Abstract
American relief worker Tracy Strong Jr. played a key role in obtaining the transfer of young prisoners from Vichy internment camps in southern France to the Maison des Roches—a residence that he helped establish in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon—and in subsequently helping some of these young men to escape over the Swiss border. The author of this article bases his research primarily on journals and letters that Strong wrote at the time, which provide contemporary evidence for the central importance of the town’s Huguenot congregation and its pastor, Andre Trocme—an importance that some writers recently have attributed to postwar exaggeration and myth-making.
