and bombardment, the bombing of various parts of france took place all over france because it is the aria for americans if they had bombed just normandy it would give germans the belief that the invasion would come there. in fact, the french expected it to come further east than it did. so, they had an idea of where it would be but they actually didn't expect it to be in normandy. >> mary louise roberts is our guest. she is history professor at the university of wisconsin madison and author of the book, d-day through french eyes: normandy 1944. that is our focus for the last part of our program this morning. it is the experience of french norman citizens and the initial invasion of d-day. if you're living in the eastern and central time zone, that is the line to use. mountain pacific time zone and for those of you who have french ancestry, french americans that line is 202-748 minus 8002. particularly interested if you have stories of relatives or ancestors who lived in normandy or france at the time of the invasion. just a couple of reminders on the timeline of the invasion. we are

today, france has not forgotten. france has not forgotten the fighters to whom we owe the right to live in freedom. we have not forgotten the 135,000 american, british, and canadian soldiers, backed by belgium, luxembourg, dutch, norwegian, danish, polish, czechoslovak, new zealand, south african, and french troops, landed on 6 june, on the beaches of normandy, and forever changed the course of history in europe and the world. france is not forgotten the paratroopers who just a few hours earlier had been dropped behind the lines and with the support of the french resistance fighters, would take hold of strategic bridges, roads and railway lines, and would take over from their brothers in arms, who made it out alive from the emerald shores, crimson and by the shed blood. france has not forgotten the 2 million soldiers who at the end of this longest day, would continue fighting on for weeks to free the towns and villages of normandy and would go through the of combat in the normandy countryside which was even more trea

they were taken by train to the southern part of france and dumped in a concentration camp in france called the -- in the shadow of the pyrenees. this pose a challenge to u.s. policy because when the jews arrived and france, the french did not want them. they immediately turned to the united states and said, they said to the u.s. government, the motive that fdr talked a lot about resolving, they said the u.s. should be willing to take action to support the rhetoric and accept their fair share of the jews that had been expelled from nazi germany. the reason given was that if the german government succeeds in expelling and deporting this group of jews, they will try the same trick in other parts of germany. they will repeat ethnic cleansing. if they will ethnically cleanse this part of germany they will ethnically cleanse other parts of germany me. in hindsight, we could say it would have been a good idea if they were allowed to expel the entire jewish population. but we did not know it at the time. this was before the death camps had been created. so, fdr essentially did the state dep

this looked like for a long time france would finally get another tour de france champion that's right i mean for a long time it was really an eye phillipe the favorite who was wearing the yellow jersey and the the white as you put it has been going on for france for all the. 1985 was the last time it happens i had a lot of support you've got a lot of momentum within france but then on friday stage 19 the weather wrought havoc on his tour unfortunately for him so the stage had to be cancelled or rather halted early about just under 40 kilometers at that point but it was leading and that gave him a huge boost in the studies that put him up to the top no criticism of him of course because he just did the best that he could with the circumstances that were thrown at all of the riders but out of phillip you have to think he would have been trying to time the stage trying to time he's moved to the front and then he just thought he had a lot more time. and that's got to be disappointed what was his reaction after they after he was century boss the yellow jersey yeah exactly i mean he acted w

in 1940 germany invaded france and occupied paris. the arrow on this map of france points to paris. the garih family fled south, but they soon returned to paris where they were subjected to france's new anti-jewish legislation. in 1943 albert's father was deported to a forced labor camp and albert's mother and the children went into hiding with madam galoh and her husband for the next six months. when they returned home in 1944 police were sent to arrest the garihs but agreed to say instead the family was not home if the family would leave immediately. albert was placed in a catholic boarding school for boys and his sister in a one for girls in a north eastern suburb of paris. when paris was liberated in august 1944 albert's mother was able to bring her children back to the city. claire and her children are shown together in this photograph. albert's father released from the labor camp walked from belgium to paris returning to his family in september 1944 on rosh hashanah, the jewish new year. the garih family remained in france after the war. he then earned a decree in enlish and s
