Huguenot
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the name of Huguenots came to apply to members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France, or historically as the French Calvinists.
Le Chambon-sur-Lignon
During the Second World War, the mostly Protestant population of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in southern France hid and sheltered between 3,000 to 5,000 Jews from the Nazis. Pastor André Trocmé lead the community in this effort. Israel's Holocaust Memorial Museum Yad Vashem recognised Trocmé and thirty-four other residents of the area as "Righteous Among the Nations."
