Codename Suzette

This is not a happy read.  There are so many threads running through this true story you could run a knitting mill.  The surviving daughter of Suzette did indeed go on to become a knitting instructor.  Before that her mother, a co-ordinator of different resistance groups in wartime Paris never lived to tell her story.  She was part of the so called red orchestra named by the Nazis who were on the hunt for them.  Most of the time it was French police pressured by German invaders doing the arresting.  The main storyline revolves around hiding Jewish children from the Germans.
