Author: Sebastien Callegari-Sullivan

Sebastien Callegari has been a history/geography teacher at the Lycée since 2014. He has involved students in France's academic competition on the Resistance and Deportation for years and was thrilled to engage his students at the Lycée in it for the first time this year. In 1995, he helped write the academic volume, La libération des camps et le retour des déportés (The Liberation of the Camps and the Return of the Deported) under the direction of Marie-Anne Matard-Bonucci and Edouard Lynch. The book researched the history of the deportation of French jews to concentration camps in Germany and the return of survivors to France after the war.
