Anne Nelson - Codename Suzette (EN)

This book tells the true story of Suzanne Spaak, a wealthy Belgian woman who became a key figure in the French Resistance during World War II.

Spaak used her privileged status to help save hundreds of Jewish children from deportation and certain death under Nazi occupation. Despite the immense danger, she worked courageously to organize escape routes and provide shelter, ultimately sacrificing her own life for the cause. Anne Nelson, a journalist and historian, meticulously reconstructs Spaak’s journey from socialite to resistance hero, shedding light on a lesser-known but extraordinary figure in the fight against tyranny.
