Charles Aznavour saved Jews from the Nazis
mainThe French singer, who died this week aged 94, took an active part in his family’s efforts to hide Jews in Paris, risking their own lives under the German occupation.
On receiving a humanitarian award with his sister from Israel’s President Rivlin, Aznavour said: ‘We have so many things in common, the Jews and the Armenians, in misfortune, in happiness, in work, in music, in the arts and in the ease of learning different languages and becoming important people in the countries where they have been received.’
May he enjoy eternal rest.
The world needs many many more Aznavour … Sad… 🙁
a great connaiseur and lover of opera via his parents who called his sister Aida

The comparisons of him to Frank Sinatra make me ill. He was far above Sinatra in every respect. Except he sang too fast.
He was an unremarkable artist, who discribed his life and others with a lyric that’s gives chills. He catched my heart with his song”la boheme”,since my youth I loved him and I still do I am 63.Peace for Aznavour.
Best memories of my youth!
Nobody did it like he!!!
RIP
