The whole life1941
Arrest in Marseille and Rescue by Varian Fry
In April 1941 Chagall and his wife were stripped of their French citizenship; they were arrested along with other Jews at the Hôtel Moderne in Marseille. Varian Fry secured the artist's release, as he was included on the list of cultural figures to be rescued by the United States.
