Yvonne Ziegler

Ziegler worked in the French resistance with the Cohors-Asturies [fr] network and alongside her partner Suzanne Leclézio.

[1][2][3] Ziegler was a student of the Académie Julian in Paris,[4] and had also studied under artists Lucien Simon and Paul Albert Laurens.

Starting in the early 1930s her lesbian partner was social worker Suzanne Leclézio, and together they lived in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, at 43 rue Boissonade.

[7] The couple housed resistance fighters in their home, and started a health centre at 22 rue Marcadet, the "Marcadet Street Health Center" (also known as Centre d'hygiène sociale, chemin de fer du Nord) where they saved Jewish families in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

[7] Leclézio was named a Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour, received the Croix de Guerre, and the Resistance Medal.
