    “

    History was kind to Churchill because he understood that some moments require you to stand alone and hold the line, even when everything seems hopeless.

    How did we see France, the nation, surrender during the Second World War? And how did Winston Churchill turn the situation around in Western Europe fighting against Hitler? I want to dig into the backdrop around the movie "The Darkest Hour." I am going to visit Paris, France very soon, and I am very excited about this trip and learning that part of history of that country and that city. I think I need to see the city through a different angle: not just as a fan, but as a judge.
