Here is an article written by Orenthale for his pen pal about Jean Moulin:

I'll introduce to you a man who helped the French Resistance during Second World War: Jean Moulin.

He was born on June, 21 1899 and died on 8th July, 1943. He was a French Prefect. Furthermore, he fought against German occupation in France by resisting. After De Gaulle's call on 18th June 1940, he came to London because he was called by him. He gave him the mission to unify French Groups of Resistants and to create the National Council of Resistance. Jean Moulin did it but he was arrested and tortured by Klaus Barbie in Lyon. Afterwards, he was trasfered to Paris where he was questionned. But when he was transfered to Berlin, he died in the train. Jean Moulin is considered as a modern hero in France History.
