Marguerite Bervoets, born in La Louvière, (6 March 1914 – 7 August 1944)[1] was a Belgian resistance fighter during World War II and killed in a prison in Germany.

[clarification needed][3] On 8 August 1942 Bervoets and another resistance member, Cécile Detournay, went to the edge of Chièvres Airfield for the purpose of photographing newly installed anti-aircraft guns.

A woman, a prosecution witness, provided evidence that led to the indictment of Bervoets and the leaders of the group to which she belonged.

After a few months of incarceration in Mons, Bervoets and Detournay were deported to Germany for their fates to be decided by the Volksgericht (People's Court) of Leer.

[3] Bervoets's farewell letter (often called 'moral will') was a letter written on 13 November 1941 to her friend Mme Balasse de Guide; collected in Pierre Seghers' Anthologie de la Résistance: My friend, You are the one among all whom I have chosen to receive my last wishes.

Farewell.Marguerite Bervoets and Fernande Volral were executed by "fallbeil" (German guillotine) on 7 August 1944 in Wolfenbüttel, Germany.
