Nahant Historical Society – Lecture Sunday 2/4 at 2 p.m. – Hear about Charles Luc Schepens. When
Germany invaded Belgium during WWII, Charles Luc Schepens was a captain in the Belgian medical corp. His involvement in the war effort went deeper. He was a member of the Belgian resistance. After being arrested by the Gestapo twice, Charles fled to France in 1943 where he assumed the name, Jacques Alexandre Perot. Joining the French resistance movement, ‘Jacques’ set up a spurious operation at a ‘back-country’ lumber company. From here he managed an evacuation system, aiding nearly 100 citizens in fleeing France and certain persecution. Details – Click Here
