Editing Huguenots (section)

===Modern times===
In the 1920s and 1930s, members of the extreme-right {{Lang|fr|[[Action Française]]}} movement expressed strong animus against Huguenots and other [[Protestantism|Protestants]] in general, as well as against [[Jews]] and [[Freemasonry|Freemasons]]. They were regarded as groups supporting the French Republic, which {{Lang|fr|Action Française}} sought to overthrow.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Anti-Protestantism |url=https://museeprotestant.org/en/notice/anti-protestantism/ |access-date=4 April 2024 |website=museeprotestant.org}}</ref>

In [[World War II]], Huguenots led by {{Lang|fr|[[André and Magda Trocmé|André Trocmé]]|italic=no}} in the village of {{Lang|fr|[[Le Chambon-sur-Lignon]]|italic=no}} in {{Lang|fr|[[Cévennes]]|italic=no}} helped save many [[Jews]]. They hid them in secret places or helped them get out of [[Vichy]] France. André Trocmé preached against discrimination as the [[Nazism|Nazis]] were gaining power in neighbouring Germany and urged his Protestant Huguenot congregation to hide Jewish refugees from [[the Holocaust]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Protestant Pastor Andre Trocme {{!}} The Righteous Among the Nations |url=https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/righteous/trocme.asp |access-date=4 April 2024 |website=www.yadvashem.org}}</ref>

In the early 21st century, there were approximately one million Protestants in France, representing some 2% of its population.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2004/35454.htm |title=France |publisher=[[United States Department of State]] |date=1 January 2004 |access-date=2 August 2010}}</ref> Most are concentrated in [[Alsace]] in northeast France and the {{Lang|fr|Cévennes|italic=no}} mountain region in the south, who still regard themselves as Huguenots to this day.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}} Surveys suggest that Protestantism has grown in recent years, though this is due primarily to the expansion of [[evangelicalism|evangelical Protestant]] churches which particularly have adherents among immigrant groups that are generally considered distinct from the French Huguenot population.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/7710/rise-of-neo-protestantism-under-macron-challenges-traditional-catholic-secular-approach-to-politics |title=Rise of 'neo-Protestantism' under Macron challenges traditional Catholic-secular approach to politics |work=[[The Tablet]] |language=en |access-date=2 May 2019 }}</ref>

A [[diaspora]] of [[French Australians]] still considers itself Huguenot, even after centuries of exile. Long integrated into Australian society, it is encouraged by the Huguenot Society of Australia to embrace and conserve its cultural heritage, aided by the Society's genealogical research services.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://huguenotsaustralia.org.au/ |title=Welcome to The Huguenot Society of Australia |publisher=The Huguenot Society of Australia |access-date=30 April 2016 }}</ref>

In the United States there are several Huguenot worship groups and societies. The Huguenot Society of America has headquarters in New York City and has a broad national membership. One of the most active Huguenot groups is in [[Charleston, South Carolina]]. While many American Huguenot groups worship in borrowed churches, the congregation in Charleston has its own church. Although services are conducted largely in English, every year the church holds an Annual French Service, which is conducted entirely in French using an adaptation of the Liturgies of Neufchatel (1737) and Vallangin (1772). Typically the Annual French Service takes place on the first or second Sunday after Easter in commemoration of the signing of the Edict of Nantes.
