ODETTE HALLOWES, G.C.

“They are all our mothers and sisters, you would not be able to either learn or play in freedom today, yes, you may not even have been born, if such women had not stood their soft, slender bodies before you and your future like protective steel shields throughout the Fascist terrors.”
– Odette Hallowes, 10 June 1993, speaking at Ravensbruck, the concentration camp where Violette Szabo and two other real Charlottes were executed.
