Pierre Moulin
Résumé
Pierre Moulin (November 1, 1948 – April 11, 2016) was a French historian author, specializing in World War II, Nisei Japanese Americans, the Holocaust as well as Hawaiian history.
Several of his published books are available in Pearl Harbor Historic Sites gift shops. In the final years of his life he helped promote his books at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, autographing them as he got to meet with visitors from all over the world. He died on April 11, 2016, in Honolulu, O
ahu, Hawaii.
Moulin was born in Bruyeres-in-Vosges on November 1, 1948. At 20 he discovered America on a three-month trip on Greyhound buses. He then travelled all over the World and wrote several books in French.
Hawaii was one of his first objectives in 1969. His active participation during the festivities of the 25th anniversary of the liberation as interpreter and vice-president of the sistercityship involved himself deeply in these unique relationships. Seven years later he brought, for the first time, a group of Bruyerans to Honolulu for an unforgettable “Visit to Paradise” and created the Bruyeres-Hawaii Friendship Committee which established a new bond between the two sister cities: Bruyeres and Honolulu.
When writing « Visit to Paradise », which was the title of his first book in 1976, he never pictured himself becoming the well-known historian who he is now. Since his young years, Pierre was fascinated by history. Historian of the City of Bruyeres, Pierre was directly involved in World War II through the story of his father, leader of the FFI and OSS agent who never talked. He discovered an incredible page of glory written by the US Samurais and resolved to publish it and to show to the entire world the legend of his heroes. He published successively: « U.S. Samurais in Lorraine », « Chronicle of Bruyeres-in-Vosges », « 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Vosges », « The Guide of the Peace and Freedom trail », « US Samurais in Bruyeres » in English, and « Bruyeres-in-Vosges, 2000 years of History through his streets ».Source officielle
