A Jewish communist, Diamant was a committed member of the underground resistance during World War II; on more than one occasion he was offered safe passage to England but chose instead to remain in France. After the war he worked initially with the UJRE (l’Union des Juifs pour la Résistance et l’Entraide) and devoted himself to documenting the Jewish resistance by collecting original documents and writing and publishing extensively on the subject.
