During World War II, my husband and I fought for our country, France. We were part of the French Resistance. During the war, our pseudonyms were Catherine and Aubrac. We also worked with Jean Moulin. Later, I taught history in schools and I shared my experience with the students. It was my duty because we must never forget. There have been many books and movies about me. I died on 14th March 2007. My name is... Lucie Aubrac!
