• Isabel Townsend Pell, American lesbian and resistant

Daughter of Isabel Audrey Townsend and estate administrator Samuel Osgood Pell, she shared her mother's first name and was born on September 28, 1900.

Isabel Pell tried to conform to what was expected of her by becoming engaged on June 3, 1924, but the engagement soon fell through as Isabel preferred women.

Then, because of her family's status as a wealthy heiress, she became very close to Eleonora Randolph Sears, a descendant of Thomas Jefferson and a tennis player, and Margarett Sargent.

War broke out and the German army occupied France. In 1940, Isabel Pell and her French companion Claire Charles-Roux decided to join the French Resistance and the maquis. They served for four years. In 1942, Isabel and her friend were arrested by the Italians and placed under house arrest in Puget-Théniers (first house on the right of the fortified gate). They were released when the Italians left in 1943, just before the arrival of German troops. Even under surveillance, Isabel Pell managed to act and pass on information to the Resistance during her walks.

When she was released, she disguised herself as a peasant and went into the mountains with her lover Claire Charles-Roux De Forbin La Barben. In 1944, Isabel rescues a contingent of American soldiers surrounded by enemies in Tanaron, a small French town. Pell, wearing a Free French badge, comes out of hiding to lead them to safety.

Back in Auribeau, she continued her resistance activities and joined the American army during the D-Day landings. She joined the 1st Airborne Task Force led by Major General Robert T. Frederick, ensuring communications between French and American forces.

- Felice Schragenheim, circa 1940-1944, colorize by me

A German Jew, Felice Schragenheim worked in the German resistance. In 1942, she met and then began a lesbian affair with Lilly Wust, a convinced Nazi, wife of a war hero, mother of four sons and medalist for services rendered to the State. Felice calls Lilly "Aimee" and Lilly calls Felice "Jaguar". Four months after they met, Felice moved in with Lilly. Wust does not immediately learn of Schragenheim's Judaism, nor his action in the resistance, revelations which then lead him to question his own values. Despite this information, their relationship persists and even takes on all the forms of a marriage.

On August 21, 1944, returning from an excursion to one of the lakes bordering the Havel River, Felice Schragenheim was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to a concentration camp because she was Jewish. The exact day and place of his death are unknown; it probably occurred during a death march leaving the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, but it may also have taken place after his arrival at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
