pensionnat dirigé par deux religieuses, Denise Bergon et Marguerite Roques. Pendant plus de deux ans, près de 80 personnes partageront la vie de cette minuscule école de la campagne aveyronnaise, à l'insu des élèves catholiques et bien sûr de l'occupant. En dépit de multiples alertes, Massip tiendra jusqu'au bout. Durant une commune traversée du siècle, Denise Bergon et Marguerite Roques resteront volontairement dans l'ombre. Elles confient aujourd'hui le plus intime de leur vocation et de leurs combats. Pourquoi avoir choisi de résister à l'heure où tant d'autres se taisaient ?
