Florence Waren, 95, Jewish Dancer Who Outwitted The Nazis While Dancing For Them In Paris

“Waren was a Jew in disguise, performing in a Nazi-held city where Jews lived under constant threat. She was a lawbreaker, hiding other Jews in her apartment, risking her own deportation to a concentration camp. And she was a smuggler, helping to supply guns to the French Resistance. ‘I think she was very scared,’ her son, Mark Waren, said in a telephone interview. ‘But I don’t think it was something she thought much about. It was simply what one did.'”
