Children Of The Resistance

Heroes on the barricades (1x4)

: 12, 2019

In the fifties and sixties, former resistance fighters unite and try to weigh in on the public debate. They fought for strict punishment of collaborators and recognition for their own acts of resistance. Later they vigorously opposed the plans to grant amnesty to collaborators. The fact that these collaborators are making themselves heard more and more often is not welcomed in resistance circles. The more years it takes, the more difficult it becomes for former resistance fighters to make their voices heard. The memory of what they did during the war is fading. Myths are created that are tarnishing the image of the resistance. In the 1970s there was a haze of adventurism, banditry and crime surrounding the resistance. Many members of the resistance are embittered by the skewed memory of their actions.
