About this person
Described by Winston Churchill as "the first resister", Mandel fled France and attempted to establish a government-in-exile after the Fall of France, but was arrested by the government of Vichy France. He was executed by the Milice paramilitary in 1944 in retaliation for the assassination of Philippe Henriot.
