RIP Andree de JonghFollow

I missed this two weeks ago but one helluva woman died recently after a long life of serving others. She established the Comet Line, which saved hundreds of allied airmen shot down in WWII, especially when Vichy France had been established.

She survived the Ravensbruck and Mauthausen-Gusen Concentration Camps. She later moved to the Belgian Congo and Ethiopia to serve as a nurse at a leper colony.

She died in Brussels at the age of 90.

She's always been one of my personal heroes and I think the world was made better by her presence.

(in before Anna is a *****)

Meh, never heard of her.

Anna's mother is a nice lady, I'd take her out for a nice seafood dinner , I am thinking lobster.
Lobsterjohnson :)

She's a pretty amazing lady, Hellboy. Anyone who risks their life that much deserves praise.

Maybe others will continue to find thier own kind hearts now...it's doubtful but one can always hope that humanity will continue to keep moving forward as such.

Not really. You can bother to actually learn more about history and see why people like her were relevant, especially in the symbolic sense during the time that the low countries were occupied.

I regret to inform you that true historic figures are always whitewashed, prepackaged, and delivered at the low low price of a factual story, as long as there has been story telling and writing, that's why we don't learn about figures quirks we learn about how they voyaged the ocean and found North America, and how the amazing trip across the Delaware river! We don't learn about woman helping men save there *** in a war.
