Simone Tanner Chaumet

Simone Tanner Chaumet (c. 1916 – 25 May 1962)[1] was a French peace activist and was a volunteer for SCI (Service Civil International) between 1943 and 1945 in France and between 1951 and 1956 in Algeria.

While she was working there, she saved the life of Jewish children (François Gelbert, Maurice and Charles Wrobel, Gilbert and Maxime Allouche) during the Second World War in France.

The children; François Gelbert, Gilbert and Maxime Allouche that Chaumet saved their lives, attended the commemoration to honour her.

Finally, she was honoured on 24 October 2011 as Righteous among the Nations in the Salle des Fêtes de la Mairie du 6e Arrondissement, 78 rue Bonaparte, in Paris.
