When Megan Koreman, PhD, was a little girl, her aunt and uncle told her stories about what they did in the Dutch Resistance in Maastricht. She’s been fascinated with the Second World War ever since. She thought about the war while getting her BA at Notre Dame and focused her studies on it in graduate school at UC Berkeley. At that time historians did not think there were any documents about the Resistance. Archival laws have changed since then, and Megan has been the first historian to consult many of the recently opened and declassified archives about the Resistance in Europe and the US. She writes, lectures, and teaches on the everyday difficulties and moral dilemmas of civilians caught under Nazi Occupation. Her books include “The Expectation of Justice” (Duke, 1999) about three French towns during the Liberation, and “The Escape Line” (Oxford, 2018) about how 300 men and women rescued thousands of Jews, resisters and Allied aviators from the Nazis. She also publishes a blog about the Resistance at www.dutchparisblog.com. Megan lives in Michigan with her husband and children. “The Escape Line” is also available in Dutch translation as “Gewone Helden” (Boom, 2016).
