Suzanne Hiltermann-Souloumiac

Suzanne 'Touty' Hiltermann-Souloumiac, née Hiltermann, (17 January 1919 – 2 October 2001) resisted the Nazis as part of the Dutch-Paris escape line during World War II.

[2] In November 1943 Laatsman agreed to link his group in Paris to the escape line that Jean Weidner was putting together.

[3] Laatsman, Hiltermann, Mincowski and their colleagues took primary responsibility for taking care of downed Allied aviators coming through Paris for the new escape line, called Dutch-Paris.

On 26 February 1944, German forces coordinated raids on all Dutch-Paris addresses in Paris that were associated with the aviator escape line.

She formed life-long friendships there with Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz, Jacqueline Pery, Simone Souloumiac and Germaine Tillion.

After a short recuperation in Sweden, Hiltermann returned to Paris on a special US Army Air Force repatriation flight.

During one of their long discussions about the Algerian War of Independence, the women invented the new concept of "clochardisation" to describe the terrible marginalization that affects a large part of humanity.

The couple moved to Hong Kong shortly after their marriage when van Aerssen was named Dutch Consul General there.

The school occupied three rooms belonging to the Alliance Francaise in the Hang Seng Bank Building on Des Voeux Road.

Today 1,200 students study at the Lycée Victor Segalen Hong Kong, which became Asia's largest French high school.
