(Anne Beaumanoir) p. 4 of cover (b. 1923; formerly Annette Roger) Washington post WWW site, viewed March 18, 2022 (in obituary dated March 13, 2022: Anne Beaumanoir, a French resistance member who guided Jews to safety in her Nazi-occupied homeland during World War II, then became an anti-colonial activist jailed in France for backing Algerian independence, and later earned distinction as a neurophysiologist specializing in epilepsy, died March 4 in Quimper, a city in her native Brittany. She was 98. As a 19-year-old medical student, first in the city of Rennes and later in Paris, Dr. Beaumanoir secretly joined the youth movement of the French Communist Party (PCF) after the German invasion of France. After France conceded independence to Algeria in 1962, she worked for the ministry of health under that country's first independence president Ahmed Ben Bella and was granted Algerian citizenship. When Ben Bella was ousted in a bloodless 1965 coup by his defense minister Houari Boumédiène, she fled to Switzerland where she spent the rest of her career as director of the department of clinical neurophysiology and epileptology at the Geneva University Hospitals. Raymonde Marcelle Anne Beaumanoir was born in Créhen, a Breton village close to the shores of the English Channel, on Oct. 30, 1923. She married Joseph "Jo" Roger. She told her story in the 2009 autobiography "The Fire of Memory: The Resistance, Communism and Algeria") |
