About Marcel Rajman

Marcel Rajman was a Polish Jew and volunteer fighter in the FTP-MOI group of French Resistance fighters during World War II. He was also the head of "Stalingrad", a highly active militant group. Notably, the first operation of Missak Manouchian, at Levallois, took place under Rajman's leadership. After the first groups of the Jeunesses communistes were formed, Rajman readily joined them and fought actively until the beginning of 1942, participating in illegal demonstrations, putting up posters, leafleting and other activity. Thenceforth, Rajman became a major target, and his hideaway at rue de Belleville, Paris, was soon known to the Renseignements généraux.
