The Peel Family

[ursamajor]

Saw a story pop up on A Mighty Girl's Facebook just now about French Resistance fighter Andrée Peel; she was responsible for saving over 100 British and American pilots shot down over France, and was caught and eventually sent to Ravensbrück and Buchenwald. After her work during the war, she eventually married an Englishman, John Peel, and settled in Bristol.

Any relation to Arista, I wonder? :)

Ha. I'm pretty sure that if they're related, it's very, very distantly.

She sounds incredibly badass. (And reminded me of the characters in "Code Name Verity" and "Rose Under Fire," which I highly recommend!)
