The French Red Cross during the Second World War
During the Second World War, the French Red Cross played a crucial role in helping the victims of conflict. It provided medical assistance to prisoners of war, civilians affected by bombing and concentration camp inmates. In addition, it also organised convoys to evacuate the wounded and refugees to safer areas. Red Cross aid workers often risked their lives to help others. Relief teams were bombed and shot at while trying to provide assistance to the wounded at the front. Despite the difficulties, the French Red Cross maintained its commitment to humanity, offering hope of survival for many people during the war.
