Paulette Duhalde (23 July 1921 – 23 April 1945)[3] was a French Resistance fighter, who operated under the alias of "Jojo" with the Jeanne Network in France's Normandy region during World War II. Betrayed to the Gestapo by a spy within the network, she was arrested, tried, sentenced to five years in prison, and jailed at Fresnes before being deported to a prison facility in Aachen, Germany. Subsequently transferred to the prison at Cottbus near Leipzig, she was then transported, in 1944, to the Nazi concentration camp in Germany known as Ravensbrück. She died there on 23 April 1945.[4][5]
Posthumously honored with multiple awards, including the Legion of Honor, her life is remembered in a small, permanent exhibit in the Hall of Deportation in the Musée du Château de Flers (Museum of the Castle of Flers) at Flers de l'Orne.[6]
