Following his return to France, he was sent to the front (1940). As a Resistance fighter (1943-1945), he was accused of treason during the Occupation and imprisoned for a month before being acquitted in 1947.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accidental death of his two-year-old son in 1941, his experience of injustice, and his devotion to wounded innocence drove him to take action. He moved to Lausanne in 1948 and founded the association of friends and then the companions of Emmaus in Lausanne in 1957-58, before founding Terre des hommes in 1960. In 1980, he set up Sentinelles, a foundation designed to take care of people in dire circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" data-id=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kaiser.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kaiser.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/kaiser-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"226\" data-id=\"2111\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/edmond-scooter-sentinelles-bf-835.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/edmond-scooter-sentinelles-bf-835.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/edmond-scooter-sentinelles-bf-835-300x212.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"226\" data-id=\"2114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/edmond-sentinelles-lsne-11.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/edmond-sentinelles-lsne-11.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.sentinelles.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/edmond-sentinelles-lsne-11-300x212.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edmond Kaiser trained as an office worker, and visited Germany in 1932-1933 to learn the language.
