Le Chambon-sur-Lignon was a tiny Protestant farming village in the mountains of south-central France. Defying the Nazis and the French government that was collaborating with the Nazis, the villagers of the area of Le Chambon provided a safe haven throughout the war for whoever knocked on their door.

Most of the villagers were proud descendants of the Huguenots, first Protestants in Catholic France. They remembered their own history of persecution, and it mattered to them. They also read the Bible, and tried to heed the admonition to love your neighbor as yourself.

Henri Héritier in "Weapons of the Spirit"“The responsibility of Christians,” their pastor, André Trocmé, had reminded them the day after France surrendered to Nazi Germany, “is to resist the violence that will be brought to bear on their consciences through the weapons of the spirit.”

There were many other uncelebrated individual and collective acts of goodwill and righteousness throughout the dark war years. But nowhere else did a persistent and successful moral consensus develop on a scale approaching what happened in the area of Le Chambon.

Released theatrically in 1989 in over 50 major markets, selected for over 20 film festivals, the highly acclaimed feature documentary was the recipient of many awards, including the prestigious DuPont-Columbia University Award in Broadcast Journalism. (fonte: Fondation Chambon)

"Les Armes de l'Esprit" est un documentaire de référence sur l'action de la région du Chambon-sur-Lignon sous l'Occupation. Sorti en salle en France en 1990, salué par la critique puis diffusé à la télévision, il est dorénavant disponible en DVD. Il retrace l'histoire des habitants du plateau Vivarais-Lignon qui, forts d'une tradition d'accueil et d'entraide, ont accueilli près de 2500 Juifs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de nombreux opposants politiques et réfractaires au STO.

L'action des Chambonnais doit beaucoup à l'influence des pasteurs Theis, Guillon et Trocmé, dont le discours "Les Armes de l'Esprit", prononcé au lendemain de l'armistice de juin 1940, résume l'intention qui présida aux actions sur le plateau.

Les œuvres humanitaires protestantes et catholiques ont également joué un rôle important, particulièrement dans la création de centres d'hébergement.

La dimension exceptionnelle des actes de sauvetage et du nombre des sauveurs ont valu à ce village, le seul en France, de se voir décerner le titre de Juste parmi les Nations en 1988.

"Les Armes de l'Esprit" a obtenu de nombreux prix lors de festivals internationaux, sa diffusion en DVD a été soutenue par la Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. (fonte: Fondation pour la Memoire de la Shoah)

Cosa possiamo dire oggi della risposta cristiana all'Olocausto? Mentre il Dr. Franklin Littell, un pastore americano, pone domande scottanti, Madeleine Barot e il pastore André Dumas, membri della Cimade, Jean-Marie Soutou, membro della Christian Testimony Resistance Network, e Magda Trocmé, vedova del pastore del Chambon-sur-Lignon - i quattro francesi sono stati riconosciuti come giusti tra le nazioni - evocano campi di internamento in Francia e resistenza cristiana alla collaborazione con l'occupante nazista.… (mere)

Girato a New York e Los Angeles, questo film ritrae una lingua e una cultura uniche e tenaci. Quanto è importante la lingua yiddish per gli ebrei americani oggi? Questo film testimonia la vitalità dello yiddish attraverso la musica klezmer, l'umorismo, la poesia e il cinema e include interviste, in particolare con il comico? David Steinberg, il comico Herschel Bernardi, lo scrittore Leo Rosten, l'esperto Dr. Joshua Fishman e il produttore teatrale Isaiah Sheffer.
