Evoking the spirit of Edith Cavell, and taking the German occupation of Paris in 1940 as a personal affront, she led an escape line for patriotic Frenchmen and British soldiers. After imprisonment, escape to England, a secret return to France and another arrest, she began to witness the horrors of German-run prisons and concentration camps. In April 1945, a score of British and American women emerged from the Women's Hell Ravensbruck concentration camp who had been kept alive by the willpower and the strength of one woman, Mary Lindell. She combined a passion for adventure with blunt speech and persistently displayed the greatest personal bravery in the face of great adversity. To counter German claims that they had no British or American prisoners, Mary smuggled out a plea for rescue and produced her list from her pinafore pocket, compiled in secret from the camp records. This vital list contained the names of captured women, many of whom were agents of British Military Intelligence, the Special Operations Executive or the French Resistance. Poignantly supported by first-hand testimony, Lindell's List tells the moving story of Mary Lindell's heroic leadership and the endurance of a group of women who defied the Nazis in the Second World War. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Lindell, Mary, |d1895-1986. 610 20 Ravensbrück (Concentration camp) 650 0 Women Nazi concentration camp inmates |zGermany |zRavensbrück. 650 0 Women prisoners |zGermany |zRavensbrück. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xPrisoners and prisons, German. 650 6 Détenues de camp de concentration nazi |0(CaQQLa)000331717 |zAllemagne |zRavensbrück. |0(CaQQLa)201-0390318 650 6 Prisonnières |0(CaQQLa)201-0028951 |zAllemagne |zRavensbrück. |0(CaQQLa)201-0390318 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xPrisonniers et prisons des Allemands. |0(CaQQLa)201-0276000 610 27 Ravensbrück (Concentration camp) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00723827 650 7 Women Nazi concentration camp inmates. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst02028979 650 7 Women prisoners. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01178398 651 7 Germany |zRavensbrück. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01226105 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 852 0 |bscstacks |hD805.5.R38 |iH67 2019
