Marie Dupont (mah-REE doo-PAW)
A Member of the French Resistance
Marie Dupont
Marie Dupont was the embodiment of the silent strength that coursed through Paris during the occupation. Born in the heart of the French capital in 1910, she was a woman whose intellect and grace were matched only by her fierce patriotism. As the city she loved fell under the shadow of oppression, Marie transformed her elegance into a weapon, her social connections into a network of resistance.
At 30, her role as a purveyor of secrets was masked by her poised demeanor and fashionable presence. On the night of June 14th, 1940, she was a vision of resolve, her every gesture deliberate, her every word a veiled directive. In her, the Allies found an invaluable ally, a keeper of fates who bore the burden of her crucial mission with silent dignity.
