Henri Dalsème (1875-1964), a Jewish businessman and four-times mayor of Meudon between 1912 and 1936, resigned in October 1940 in protest at the Vichy government’s position on Jews. His son, Claude, escaped from a prisoner of war camp and joined the Resistance, but was killed in 1945. Sold with further biographical detail.
The primary goal of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale was to bring peoples from the wide French colonial empire together in the capital city in order to educate the French nation as to the importance of their colonies. The exposition, occupying 500 acres in the Bois de Vincennes, opened on 6 May 1931 and by the time it closed in November some 8 million people had visited it
