He was also a Nazi concentration camp survivor and later served as a member of the French parliament. Conscripted into the army in 1939 during the…Phoney War, Paul was taken prisoner by the Nazis, but managed to escape and fled to Brittany, where he established contact with the PCF and its regional leader, Auguste Havez. Paul joined Havez to form a branch of the party aiming to integrate the Resistance. In November 1940, he returned to Paris and led an insurgent group, the PCF's Organisation Spéciale ("Special Organization"), while creating connections with the trade unions. The Organisation Spécial was later renamed FTP-MOI. In 1941, Paul organized an attack against Hermann Göring, but it failed. He was denounced and arrested on November 13, and tortured in the police station of Saint-Denis. First held in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, he was transferred to Blois and delivered to the Germans. He was then taken to Compiègne and subsequently deported to Auschwitz concentration camp and Buchenwald. While at Buchenwald, he took part in the April 1945 insurrection. Paul also helped save the life of many inmates, including the industrialist Marcel Dassault, who later became an important financial backer of the Communist newspaper l'Humanité. In 1946, a controversy arose concerning Paul's activities in Buchenwald. He was accused of having cooperated with the internal management at the camp, thereby having determined the fate (the death) of a number of prisoners. Illustrated with several photogravures, this booklet, published by the Communist newspaper "Ce Soir," reproduces numerous testimonies of former inmates in favor of Marcel Paul, and his role at Buchenwald. Sporadic creasing and chipping along edges of wrappers. Pages moderately age-toned throughout. Text in French. Wrappers in overall fair, interior in good condition.
