1942 November 29, LA SIXIEME (The Sixth) (France)
The term referred to the Sixth Division of the French Jewish Scouts (EIF),
an underground organization formed and headed by Henry Wahl, Ninon Hait, Denise Levy, and Marc Haguenau. Until the liberation, they would produce thousands of false papers, recruit volunteers for the Marquis, and organize escape routes to Spain. Its core consisted of only 88 young people, 26 of whom were eventually arrested by the Gestapo.
