Suzanne Spaak was a loving mother and spouse who lived in Paris. Her husband was a man named Claude who was a filmmaker and they had two children named Lucie and Louis. The biggest happiness in Suzanne's life was taking care of her family.

Then, she found out the German occupation of France and thought it was extremely disturbing and not humane. Because of this, she decided to join the Resistance. This is where her service for Jewish prisoners started.

In our modern-day world, people are too mean to each other. We watch and let people suffer, we tear them down whenever they feel good, we're too selfish. It seems that our people have gotten meaner as time has went on. From this commemorative page, I hope viewers take away the lesson of sacrifice. Suzanne Spaak gave up her entire life to save Jews from the terrible treatment of Nazi Germany. Suzanne Spaak, who had everything someone could want in life, had risked her entire life and the life of her family, to save the genocide of Jews.

Furthermore, I hope that these up standers from the Holocaust are honored and remembered forever. These up standers and Holocaust survivors are now leaving our Earth and we only have a little bit of time left with them. In order for something like this to not happen again in the state that our world is in, we need to keep these memories alive. By honoring these people, we are not only protecting our future generations, but also making sure that these people are recognized for their sacrifices.

Honoring Suzanne Spaak as a Holocaust upstander is an important role in our duties. By remembering these people, we are keeping these memories and stories alive. We, as citizens, need to make sure that this kind of terrible genocide never happens again. The biggest way to prevent genocide from happening again is remembering history and what happened in the past. People like Suzanne Spaak give us the standard of what we need to be. By being bystanders, we are contributing to the problem and honoring these upstanders gives us an idea of what expectations we uphold.

Suzanne Spaak had no reason to help Jews. She lived a wealthy life caring for her children. The fact that she did what she did, even though she didn't get anything out of it, speaks for itself.

Suzanne didn't refuse any assignment or task given to her. She was willing to go beyond extreme measures to support and help Jews. Suzanne had walked all over Paris to find a hospital that was willing to help Jews that were hiding under different names. She utilized her high social standing to talk to clerics, judges, and authors to remind them about their duty to go against Nazism and the persecution of Jews. Suzanne also helped work an underground operative. During her work there, she would type and give out leaflets to the Jews.

In 1943, information about the deportation of Jewish children in UGIF centers was told. Suzanne was a part of an organization started by Pastor Paul Vergara and Marcelle Guillemot. In this organization, they smuggled more than 60 children to safety from the Nazis. Suzanne even sheltered some kids at her own house and with the help of her friends, she was able to provide the children with ration cards and clothing.

Despite the loyal and devoted woman she is, her husband wasn't as faithful. During her missions and time serving the Jews in the underground railroad, her husband was having an affair with a mistress. After she found out, she was too worried about her children, so she didn't divorce him and just let him do what he wanted to do.

Suzanne was born into a wealthy Belgian banking family around 1905. She married a dramatist by the name of Claude Spaak, an important statesman. Suzanne lived in Paris, France with Claude and their two children until the invasion of France in World War II. She quickly became angered at the Nazi oppression and racial intolerance and joined the National Movement Against Racism (NMCR). She was met with doubt from many male members of the French Resistance who were unsure of how long she would last under difficult conditions. At first she did menial jobs such as distributing pamphlets, typing, and shopping for various goods. Suzanne often wandered the streets, asking physicians if they would take in sick and injured Jews. She got support for her work by using her influence as an upper class Parisian member of French society.

Suzanne joined the Red Orchestra, a communist-funded intelligence network, founded by a Polish Jew. The Orchestra collected information from Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland (neutral). She worked diligently to save the lives of as many Jewish children who ran the risk of being deported to concentration camps, scattered across Western Europe. At a risk to herself and her family, Suzanne hid some of the children in her own house, feeding and clothing them. In 1942 in Belgium, the Nazis arrested more than 600 members of the Red Orchestra, one of which was Suzanne Spaak. She was sent to Fresnes prison in 1942 where she was held in horrific conditions and tortured. She was killed on August 12th, 1944.

When Suzanne heard about the news, she was very disturbed about what was happening to the Jewish people, especially the children. After knowing about what was happening, she felt it was wrong to enjoy her own life, when there were people getting killed just because of their religion/what they believe.

Her significance in the whole Holocaust genocide may not be that big, but to those Jews that she saved, she means everything to them.

Unfortunately, Suzanne was shot in her cell on August, 12, 1944 by Heinz Pannwitz, who was a Gestapo officer. This was just thirteen days before the liberation of Paris. However, on April 21, 1945, Yad Vashem recognized her as Righteous Among the Nations.

In October of 1943, Suzanne Spaak was arrested by the Gestapo police for providing help to the Jewish people (helping them escape/hiding them). She was taken to a prison in Fresnes. When she found out she was going to get arrested, she gave the list of names and addresses of Jewish children to another worker in the underground railroad, which saved all those Jewish children. On August 12, 1944, she was killed by the Germans (a week before the liberation of Paris).
