"This work was conceived under Nazi occupation. During those four years of shame, its authors never stopped preparing it, and this work was their comfort. In the hope of publishing it in broad daylight, they wanted to make it a testimony to the spirit of refusal that never ceased to blow over Paris and France. Thanks to various subterfuges, the photographic documents were taken without the enemy's knowledge, often at the risk of the operators' freedom, if not their lives, and the final editing began in May 44.""
