The Pyrenees was the lifeline<\/strong> for many Jews fleeing Nazi barbarism in World War II. The persecution of Jews by Nazi Germany and its allies drove millions to flee Europe. Many sought refuge in neighbouring countries, such as Spain, but the border was dangerous and many were captured and returned to the hands of the Nazis. However, there were routes through the Pyrenees that offered a chance of escape, and thousands of Jews risked their lives to cross them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a pleasant and very instructive chat with Pep Coll on all these subjects -and some more-. The author has just released his novel \"The story of a man\".God's long nap<\/a>\"<\/strong>set in the Pyrenees during World War II, in which the Pyrenees are shown as the \"only escape option\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
