Her brother-in-law was the Foreign Minister and her husband Claude was a playwright and patron of the painter Renée Magritte. In Paris in the late 1930s her friendship with a Polish Jewish refugee led her to her life's purpose. When France fell and the Nazis occupied Paris, she joined the Resistance. She used her fortune and social status to enlist allies among wealthy Parisians and church groups. Under the eyes of the Gestapo, Suzanne and women from the Jewish and Christian resistance groups "kidnapped" hundreds of Jewish children to save them from the gas chambers. In the final year of the Occupation Suzanne was caught in the Gestapo dragnet that was pursuing a Soviet agent she had aided. She was executed shortly before the liberation of Paris. Suzanne Spaak is honored in Israel as one of the Righteous Among Nations"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5318 Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Spaak, Suzanne Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Spaak Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList
