But didn't realise until recently that his family were involved in the resistance movement in WW2.....
During the German occupation of France during World War II, Aznavour and his family hid “a number of people who were persecuted by the Nazis, while Charles and his sister Aida were involved in rescue activities.†Their work was recognized in a statement issued in 2017 by Reuven Rivlin, President of Israel. That year, Aznavour and Aida received the Raoul Wallenberg Award for their wartime activities. "The Aznavours were closely linked to the Missak ManouchianResistance Group and in this context they offered shelter to Armenians, Jews and others at their own Paris flat, risking their own lives."
