Résumé anglais Generation of the Resistance movement, Olivier Wieviorka. Despite the Resistance members' heterogeneity, their mixture of age classes and social origins, one can speak of a generation of the Resistance. If we refer to Defense de la France, one of the major movements of the occupied zone, the founding event can definitely be identified as the defeat of 1940, and the ruptures common to all its members are the social break due to clandestinity, the political break asserted as a wish for independence, the moral break derived from the sharp consciousness of having been a minority. All these identifying and durable signs form the references of that generation.
