Not a single Jew who came [to the area of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon] was turned away, or turned in. But it was not until decades later that the villagers spoke of what they had done -- and even then, only reluctantly. "How could you call us 'good'?" they said. "We were doing what had to be done." President Barack Obama, Yom Hashoah/Holocaust Remembrance Day, United States Capitor, April 23, 2009
