Born Lucie Bernard in Lyon, France, in 1912, Aubrac grew up with a strong sense of justice and a deep love for her country. When the Nazis invaded France in 1940, she and her husband, Raymond Aubrac, joined the Resistance movement. Together, they established a network of secret meeting places, safe houses, and underground railroads, helping hundreds of Jews and resistance fighters escape capture.

Aubrac's intelligence and resourcefulness quickly made her a target for the Gestapo. In 1943, she was arrested and interrogated for days. However, she refused to betray her comrades, and the Nazis were unable to break her will.

A Daring Escape

After three months of imprisonment, Aubrac was sentenced to death. However, her friends and fellow resistance fighters devised a daring plan to rescue her. On March 25, 1943, a group of armed Resistance fighters stormed the women's prison in Lyon, overpowered the guards, and freed Aubrac and 15 other women.

Aubrac's escape was a major blow to the Gestapo, and it solidified her status as a symbol of hope for the French Resistance. She continued to fight tirelessly for the liberation of her country, and after the war, she became a vocal advocate for peace and reconciliation.
