André Trocmé and his wife, Magda, were a French couple designated Righteous Among the Nations. For 15 years, André served as a pastor in the French town of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, on the Plateau Vivarais-Lignon, in south-central France. He had been accepted to the rather remote parish because of his pacifist positions, which were not well received by the French Protestant Church.
