In the mid-1930s he emigrated to Paris. When World War II broke out in September 1939 he conducted radio broadcasts to Romania. When France was occupied in 1940 he joined the French Resistance operating underground under the name Aréne. In 1943 he managed to escape to Switzerland . Aroneanu authored 58 publications. In 1945 he was tasked with compiling a documentation of Nazi wartime atrocities for the Nuremberg Trials.
