Suzanne Buisson (née Lévy, 19 September 1883 – 5 July 1944) was a French political activist and French Resistance member.(Submitted on April 23, 2025.)
Since 1938, Suzanne Buisson had aligned herself with partisans united in opposition to Hitler. In March 1941, she cofounded the Socialist Action Committee (CAS) and became its treasurer. She made numerousforays around the country to distribute Resistance literature and participate in actions supporting the Socialist activists arrested by the Vichy regime or German authorities. In March 1943, when the CAS effectively became a reunited, clandestine SFIO, Suzanne Buisson became a member of its political bureau. Two months later, she became responsible for relations with the Communist Party.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, April 11, 20252. Suzanne Buisson memorial- wide viewThe plaque is mounted to pillar just beyond the entrance gate to her namesake park, visible just beyond the Histoire de Paris marker for Saint Denis.
Soon after, the Gestapo discovered the headquarters of the clandestine SFIO. Informed of their raid, Suzanne Buisson paced through the building, alerting her comrades, when she was arrested by the Gestapo.
Under pains of torture she revealed nothing to the Germans. Being Jewish as well as a résistante, she was deported, and ultimately was murdered at Auschwitz.
