Yvonne Abbas
Yvonne Abbas (29 April 1922 – 13 December 2014) was a member of the French Resistance during the Second World War. She survived deportation to Ravensbrück concentration camp.
She was born in Pérenchies, to an Algerian father who died of tuberculosis when she was a child, resulting in her having to go out to work at the age of thirteen. As an employee of Épiceries du Nord, she became a Communist Party activist and was involved in the industrial action of 1938. At the age of seventeen, she married Florent Debels. Both entered the Resistance and joined the FTP (Francs-tireurs et partisans).
Abbas was arrested on her 20th birthday in 1942 (along with Louis Petit and Jean Bracq, both of whom were shot). She was imprisoned in Rennes and, in April 1944, she was sent to Ravensbrück. There she was subjected to torture and forced labour.
She was working in a munitions factory in Holleischen in May 1945, when the camp was liberated. On her return home, she learned that her husband had been shot and killed at Wambrechies, two months after her address, while had her brother had also been killed.
She was awarded a number of decorations by the French government:: 53px Officier de l'Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur (1992); Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur (2014): 53px Médaille militaire: 53px Combattant volontaire de la Résistance: 53px Chevalier dans l'ordre des Palmes académiques
