Biography

In June, 1940, shortly after the German occupation of France, Boulloch joined the French Resistance. In August, 1944, he was arrested by the Gestapo. Ten days before the Liberation of Paris he was transported to Buchenwald concentration camp. He survived his captivity, however, including a stay at Auschwitz.^[2]

He died on March 16, 1978 when the plane he was travelling on crashed into the side of Blauen mountain, after failing to land at the Basel Mulhouse Airport.^[3]
