ANDRÉE PEEL
Andrée Peel lived in North Somerset with her English husband, John. She died recently, aged one hunded and five years old.
A remarkable lady from a remarkable French family, she has been honoured many times for her work with the French Resistance Movement.
Her honours include:
Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur
Croix de Guerre avec Palme,
Croix de Guerre (étoile vermeil)
Croix du CombattantVolontaire
Médaille de la Résistance
Croix de la Liberation
American Medal of Freedom,
King's Commendation for Brave Conduct
For the last 25 years of her life, Andrée was devoted to using her gift of healing to help those who suffer. Her patients came from far and wide. Although she talked to them and to others about her wartime experiences she never intended to write a book. She was finally persuaded to do so only when it was pointed out that she would be writing on behalf of all those who had not survived the horrors of the concentration camps and were unable to tell their own story.
