Jacques Lazarus (September 2, 1916 in Payerne, Switzerland – January 7, 2014 in Paris, France) was a French military officer who was a leader of the Jewish resistance in France during World War II.
At first, he instructed youth in the region of Grenoble in basic military skills.
Then, he was charged with overseeing autonomous Armée juive maquis guerillas in the Tarn department.
Twenty-seven of the prisoners, including Lazarus, escaped by jumping from the train.
After Algeria became independent in 1962, he relocated to Paris and continued publishing Information Juive.
