The CIMADE, a relief action committee of protestant youth organisations in France, lent it's aid to those, who were persecuted by the Vichy-regime between 1940 and 1944. With the assistance of the World Council of Churches in Geneva the members of CIMADE went into internment camps in the south of France. When the first deportation trains even left the south of France for Auschwitz, CIMADE helped hundreds of people who were threatened by death to escape to Switzerland.
