Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Virginia d'Albert-Lake (4 June 1910 – 20 September 1997) was notable for her work as a member of the anti-Nazi French Resistance during World War II.[3]
When World War II broke out, d'Albert-Lake, a Florida native, chose to remain in Paris with her French husband, Philippe. They joined the French Resistance in 1943 and helped to save the lives of more than 60 British and American airmen.[4] The Nazis captured d'Albert-Lake as part of their Nacht und Nebel (Night and Fog) program while she was leading an Allied airman to safety.[5][6] She was held at Ravensbrück concentration camp and when freed at the end of the war, weighed 75 pounds (34 kg).[7]
She died in 1997 at her home near Dinard, France, age 87.[2]
