In addition to holding his official post, the Mayor owned a factory which: made precision instruments for ships. During the war, he lost all his personal fortune, by stalling on German orders and continuing secret ‘work for the Free French Navy. I have read the record of the factory. The German orders came in regularly: for 10,000 fuel meters in 1941, for 10 periscopes in 1942, for 1,200 echo-recorders in 1943. Nothing was ever delivered, because there never seemed to be enough steel, or enough labor, or enough something, to fill the or- ders. Meanwhile, periscopes went to the French, and inside informa- tion on the German Navy went to Allied headquarters in London. Madame helped her husband, and also worked ceaselessly on her own.

Later, | she started a relief organization for prisoners’ families. The secrecy, the danger, the sil- ence, must have been almost un- bearable, day after day, year after year. But time was marked by moments of greater suffering. Of the four Carpentier sons, one was killed and one was imprisoned. Madame herself was arrested. In 1942, Jacques was killed in a submarine off N, Africa, through some terrible irony, not. by the Ger- mans but by the American invaders. In 1948, Gilbert tried to join French troops in Tunis. He was caught near the Spanish border. times. They kicked him, struck | him across the mouth with their gun butts, deprived him of food for days at a time, but he never ad- mitted his purpose. He simply said that he was looking for his brother Jacques. At last an anonymous letter came to Madame, telling of Gilbert’s whereabouts. She im- mediately set out to rescue him. Because she spoke German, and be- cause she had an official notice of Jacques’ death, she succeeded. If Jacques had not been killed by the Americans, Gilbert undoubtedly would have been killed by the Ger- mans. One brother literally gave his life for the other.

The Gestapo came to get her at seven in the morning. She fied upstairs, but the German officers, having touched her warm bed, searched the house. She met them unflinchingly, and had the courage to keep them waiting an hour, while she arranged the house- hold accounts—arranged them for- ever, as far as she knew. She was taken to the Rue des’ Saussaies, a notorious prison for Jews, where cold baths were used to torture out confessions. She saved herself, as she had saved her son, by her abil- ity to spéak German and to snap back arswers to every question trip to that prison.
