Today I bring you a conversation with Cindy McBrayer about Le Chambon-sur-Lignon a place of refuge. During WW2 this small town and neighboring villages became a heaven for Jewish children who were on the run from the Germans and from French authorities who collaborated with them.

Between 1940 and 1944 an isolated plateau in France became the scene of a remarkable rescue mission. The village of Le Chambon Sur Lignon and surrounding communities, sheltered refugees from all across Europe. Their local pastor, Andre Trocme, led a secret campaign to defy the Nazis, which ultimately protected the lives of around 3,500 Jewish people. Peter Grose has written a book about Le Chambon called A Good Place to Hide and he joined Life and Faith to discuss the what drove the villagers in their rescue efforts.

Peter Grose. For Australians, wars are fought in that mysterious land called "overseas". Few Australians are aware of the bitter battles on their own soil. There were 97 Japanese air raids on Northern Australia, including Darwin, which remains the worlst single event in Australian history with as many as 300 dead. A midget submarine attack inside Sydney Harbour led to 21 Allied sailors killed. Sydney and Newcastle were shelled. Peter Grose, author of 'An Awkward Truth' and 'A Very Rude Awakening', talks about the only war that is truly ours.
