In the mid-1930s, he emigrated to Paris. When World War II broke out in September 1939, he conducted radio broadcasts to Romania. When France was occupied in 1940, he joined the French Resistance, operating underground under the name Aréne. In 1943, he managed to escape to Switzerland . Aroneanu authored 58 publications. In 1945, he was tasked with compiling a documentation of Nazi wartime atrocities for the Nuremberg Trials. He also drafted a corresponding legal plea, intending to expand the prosecution beyond the treatment of the extermination of the Jews as merely a crime against peace and war crimes , as desired primarily by the British, to include the new territory of crimes against humanity under international law" (Wikipedia) SUBJECT(S): World War, 1939-1945 -- Concentration camps.
