Danièle Minne (13 August 1939 at Neuilly-sur-Seine – February 2017[1]) was one of the few European women convicted of assisting the FLN during the Algerian War.
Her mother Jacqueline Netter-Minne-Guerroudj and her stepfather Abdelkader Guerroudj, were both condemned to death[2] as accomplices of Fernand Iveton, the only European who was guillotined for his part in the Algerian revolt.
Her mother was never executed, partly due to a campaign on her behalf conducted by Simone de Beauvoir; her stepfather was also freed.
[5] Minne limits herself as a historian by making it clear through her cited testimony that women had indeed been tortured but chose to leave much unsaid in this regard.
Amrane also completed important research on the estimate of women who had participated in the Algerian War by using the register of the Ministry of Mujahidin.
