Summary/Abstract: Despite its tragism, the history of Montpellier and the county of Herault during World War II did not lack in acts of bravery, resistance and nobility. This paper is a historical review, but also an investigation into the actions of the main actors who lived in Montpellier at the time: Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Righteous among the Nations, the Herault County prefect, gendarmes and policemen who refused, when they could, the adversity.
