	Varian Fry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Varian Mackey Fry (October 15, 1907–September 13, 1967) was a New York-born, Hotchkiss School and Harvard University educated, American journalist who ran a rescue network in Vichy France that helped approximately 2,000 to 4,000 anti-Nazi and Jewish refugees to escape the Nazis.
		Among Fry's closest associates were Americans Miriam Davenport, a former art student at the Sorbonne, and the beautiful U.S. heiress, Mary Jayne Gold, a lover of the arts and the "good life" who had come to Paris in the early 1930s.
		Varian Fry's story was also told in dramatic form on film in 2001 when American entertainer Barbra Streisand co-produced the made-for-television motion picture, Varian's War written and directed by Lionel Chetwynd and starring William Hurt and Julia Ormond.

		Fry was able to obtain false papers and give small weekly allowances of money to those not interned or food parcels to those who were.

		Fry was an intellectual, aesthete, hypochondriac - a host of adjectives, none of which suggested adventurer, humanitarian, or outlaw.
		Varian Fry spent the rest of his life writing, doing PR work for Coca-Cola (!) until he p****d them off too, teaching Classics, and living in obscurity with his second wife and their three children.
		Fry went to France with the specific intention of saving lives, unlike Schindler, who began as an opportunist and only later came to appreciate his duty as a member of the human race.
