rescue
"We pulled out the bars and we start jumping out."
"We joined up with a group that was going to take us across occupied territory to the Zone Libre."
"So he hid us for several days there, brought us a little food."
"So I would go there and pick up, let's say, a little three-year-old."
"He wore civilian clothes. I had no idea who he was."
"We pulled out the bars and we start jumping out."
