DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

At the beginning of the Second World War dr Maria Banu was specializing in Paris. Through the Association of Romanian doctors that were undergoing a specialization in France, she started working at Hotel-Dieu in Troyes in 1939, together with other Romanian doctors. Once France was invaded by the Nazi German troops in June 1940, she returned to Paris. There she offered medical assistance to those who could not turn to any other doctor. Those people were French, Romanians or immigrants of other nationalities, especially Jews who used to live clandestinely, having no identity papers in occupied Paris. She saved several immigrants who arrived there from Northern Transylvannia which was under Horthist occupation. An entire series of Romanian doctors enrolled in the French Internal Forces. Doctor Maria Banu was decorated with the Medal of Resistance at the suggestion of the organization called ”Commission Médicale de la Résistance “.
