In a similar manner, French Jews during WWI had a cause – to be accepted as French. They volunteered in large numbers for the infantry – the arm that carried the greatest danger.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men.
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
Mieux vaut mourir que rester misérable ! Pour un esclave est-il quelque danger ? Tombe le joug qui nous accable Et sous nos coups périsse l'étranger ! Amour sacré de la patrie, Rends nous l'audace et la fierté ; À mon pays je dois la vie ; Il me devra sa liberté.
Better to die than stay miserable! What is danger to a slave? Let the yoke binding us fall, and its foreign master fall under our blows!
Holy love of the fatherland, Give us back boldness and pride; I owe my life to my country, it will owe its freedom to me
