Residence fighters were arguably the bravest in the war. It's easy to take advantage of our freedoms, but in dark times, this is how we truly get know ourselves.
Yes but for some reason French ressistance is most celebrated while it was one of least effective ones. Some parts of eastern Europe like Yugoslavia and Poland had much worse conditions and much more effect with more casualties. Partizans in Yugoslavia had few large chunks of land that was never occupied even after formal capitulation. Warsaw resistance as well.
I never knew about his sister. Thank you for bringing her to my attention. What a brave woman.

No more Chanel, only Dior . It makes sense for Dior to have a purse made for Princess Diana. Both Miss Dior and Princess Diana worked to make earth a better place for marginalized peoples
What an amazing story. That she survived is miraculous. It worries me, very much, that this horrendous ideology is having something of a rebirth in the West. It only takes a couple of generations for history to be forgotten, it seems. Thank you, for posting this. These stories need to keep being told.
You will likely never truly understand the irony that comes from worrying about a minority of whites who just want to avoid becoming a hated minority in their homelands while at the same time practically treating the most well organized and remorseless of racial supremacists on the planet as if they were innocent victims.
That's right exactly
Miss Dior (the original) is my favorite perfume. I have been wearing it for over 40 years now. Thank you for the back story on its creation.
Yes I used to wear it and never even knew it was about a real person let alone one who lived through that kind of hell and survived it

While I would love to have seen Miss Dior kick the crap out of the traitor Coco, I do prefer #5 to any other scent but Infinity or Joy.
@@barbaravick5634 I enjoy "Joy," too! It was amazing (sadly discontinued earlier this year) and beat No. 5 in FiFi's Perfume of the Century Award.
the term "Hero" has been misused on a slew of people such as athletes. Miss Dior deserved every single letter of it. What an amazing woman.
She lived to 90 or 91. Incredible person.
It always amazes me how many "common" people stood and defeated an uncommon foe during WWII. I sadly doubt there would be that kind of unity, sacrifice and fortitude today.
If there has never been a proper movie made about Miss Catherine Dior , she certainly deserves to be memorialized by a great actress and great film maker . She's been in hell and survived it .
What, Titanic wasn't fulfilling enough for you? She stood on her TIP TOES! And was freezing cold for a whole day!

That was awesome. What an amazing, & unbelievably brave, lady. Thank you for telling her story. Such bravery and determination should be more widely known about. The memory of such an indomitable spirit should be kept alive. The perfume bearing her name is still just as lovely & it is as deserving of its fame as it ever was.
Not sure why but of the many tragic-story videos you upload, (each one suitably solemn in their own right of course), this one is especially heart-rending. Happy ending of sorts, yes, still... it resonates in an unforgettable way.
Do, keep them coming kind Sir.
Thank you so very much for this video,Simon.I loved the fragrance but was completely unaware of the courageous personage behind the name.Her life would make a fabulous movie or book.What a hero she was!
What a bio! You really outdid yourself producing this video, Simon. So much more is now coming to light now about Ravensbrück and the terrifying atrocities committed there where it served as a training base for some 3,500 female SS (Nazi paramilitary corps) supervisors who staffed it and other camps.Thanks for making so many viewers smarter every day!
She was Amazing, Extraordinary even, there needs to be a biopic made about her.
It always sort of unsettles me whenever I find out someone great died fairly recently and I never knew. Like damn Miss Dior, I wish I knew to spare you a thought when you passed.
Thoughts and prayers can still be raised to heaven for someone.
This video was not just interesting but inspiring. I think this is the first informative video that has made me both happy and sad cry. What a woman. Wow.
For anyone wanting more information on the Ravensbruck concentration camp I would highly recommend the book 'If this is a woman' by Sarah Helm. It's a brutal but essential read about the terrible conditions the 1000's of women went through in this little known camp.
She was just remarkable; brave and strong. I want to find out more about her.
What an amazing woman I've had never heard about her extraordinary life!!
Thank you Simon ❤️❤️
I am not sure why but hearing she lived until 2008 made me cry 😭 what a great woman 👏🏻
An inspiring life. And after hearing of "Miss Dior" fragrances for years, it was so interesting to hear the backstory.
I didn't know about Coco Channel. What a fascinating comparison to Miss Dior
A brave strong woman a woman of valor. She lived until 90. Her gardens are beautiful and you can visit them. May her memory be a blessing.
A story I'd never heard. Now interested in finding out more. Thanks, Simon!
She is the exact opposite of Coco Chanel.....
Excellent job by D. Kelly on this script. I love the episodes like this one, focused on the heros and not the heinous.
One of your best. I had no idea she had endured such torment.
So bleak, and yet she was granted peace and love after horror.
Please do Irena Sendler she saved 2500 children or Geertruida Wijsmuller she saved 10,000 children before ww2
Big fan of you doing different but eminently worthy biographies
Thank you for this wonderful video. I have always been a fan of Christian Diors cosmetics and perfumes. When I first met my husband, I was wearing Poison, one of my most favorites,and I also worn Jadore. I am so glad you have posted this video, I learned alot that I didn't know about my favorite designer and sister! She passed in 2008. She had a very full life. God bless her, and everyone. Thank you so much 🥰👍🙏👄
Such incredible hardships those women faced. Knowing what their consequences would be, they were undetered
I just finished a book on her thinks she is really interesting and one tough cookie or should we say badass
What is the book called? It sounds interesting.
@@LizzyMarieTina the incredible Miss Dior, there's also all kinds of Articles and websites dedicated to her as well
@@LizzyMarieTina there is a book also by her brother that describes her life in a couple of chapters in his book printed in 2019

The firestorm in Dresden was so great, that it would actually suck people up like a tornado into the conflagration. One of the reasons that Dresden was targeted was because it was a previously untouched German city, and they wanted to see just how big of a firestorm they could actually create. Later, the firestorm in Tokyo would claim more lives than both Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
Very interesting , my friend . I never knew this... other than that dressed and had become a hell .
@@gardensofthegods Time-Life Series of WWII.
@@_Abjuranax_ but I do remember they had excellent books.... they had really good ones on the wild west also that I had meant to buy for my ex who loved everything about the Wild West but I never did get him that set of books .
Complete incorrect.
Dresden was a major industrial city. It was a major railway station and many German troops were being transported through Dresden to the Eastern Front. It was a very important strategic target. What you are saying is no less than Goebbels's propaganda to rally his evermore disloyal population against the Allies.
And the Americans never apologized to Japan. Such shameful people.
Wow I got a little choked up hearing this story. So brave and strong. Incredible story and woman
Another fanatic video, definitely a unsung hero 😊 I really admire men and women or anyone that has such bravery and determination against the evils of this world.
WW2 was huge, one of the biggest drama's in humanities history. In my opinion anyway and women's roles in it, like many other times seem to slip between the cracks. I'm not a femanist, I'm more of an equalist and not to take away from the heroics of d day or iwa Jima (my great uncle was there) but I find the deeds of these ladies to be more inspiring and moving. So good job Simon, give them another voice and keep up the good work. :)
please do more stories on women. this was amazing. i love hearing about the influencial men who have changed the world, and especially liked your recent one on wittgenstein, but i've noticed that all the other biographics episodes that pop up in my recommendations are men. they did great things, and i do want to hear their stories. but it feels a bit one sided when you have amazing women like Cathorine Dior to also cover.
I wholeheartedly agree!
*These war stories are my favorite*
A movie should be made about this amazing story!
A good reason to never ever buy Chanel products....
I agree
Yay! You are the breath of fresh air I needed! Thanks, Simon! I am desperately trying to finish up a craft project due on Sunday for a family event, and your voice and stellar content are helping me get through this enormous venture relatively unscathed. At least mentally :) Cheers! Much love to Shell and Daven, too!
Fascinating video as always. Thank you Simon and crew!
I'm so grateful to women like her and so angry of yet another example of the U.S. allowing the "bad guys" to come work here, protecting them from what they deserved.
A very moving biograph. Thank you.
This hisstory deserves to be told in a movie😢
Agreed. An incredible human being who deserves to have her name known by more people.
What a great woman.
I love the heroine videos! Keep these coming, PLEASE!
Freedom fighters.💔🙏💕
One mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. That's just the nature of war.
What an intriguing lady - worthy of being honored by a beautiful perfume. How I wish there was a perfume in this world that could wipe out the horrors inflicted by the Nazis... May your brave soul RIP Miss Dior
Lovely story. Miss Dior went through quite a lot.
this video make me feel so sad. even sadder to realize that in parts of the world, people are still living lives like this.
As opposed to Coco Chanel who was a Nazi collaborator. If I decide to buy designer, I know which franchise I’ll buy from.
I'm going right out to buy a bottle of this perfume and wear it shamelessly!
What a brave and extraordinary woman!
What's that piano tune played over "a garden of peace before the horrors of war"?
As always Simon your videos are the echoes of people who's stories are as interesting as they are entertaining and I really enjoy all of them. I can honestly say I haven't seen anything from you that I haven't liked! Thank you for passion of history and knowledge. I'd love to see an episode of biographics on the life of Bill Willson the co founder of alcoholics anonymous. He and Dr. Bob Smith created something that has pulled me and millions of other people from the depths of addiction and disparity. Their work has done something that modern medicine cannot come close competing with. Thanks again Simon😁 (side note: can we be friends?) 🤣
She lived to be 91!!!
All you do is important. Thank you and all around you.
One of my favorites. Thank you. More women, please!
Wow, I never knew any of this. Of course, I know who Christian Dior is but I didn’t know about his sister, what a story?
please do an episode on the life of Christopher Tolkien who sadly passed today what a truly amazing individual in his own right and what a gift he gave us fans of Middle Earth in taking up the great work of his father and bringing even more of these masterpieces to us and he lived an amazing life well beyond the works of his late father thanks
I've seen one or two rather long pieces of him talking about his dad's work .
Love these fashion icons could you do something about the House or Worth and Charles Worth
Thank you for this one in particular.
Wow! What a lady!
J’adore! 💕
This one was a rough one to watch. I hope she found peace. Have you considered, with one of your channels, a history on the French Resistance?
Thank you.
Thank you, I had no idea any of the history behind the name
A very touching story!
Wow! It's fun to find out what famous people did during wartime.
Another important person they never covered in public school.
Thank you for another amazing video about another amazing person who proved the strength of the human soul.
Can you please do videos on the following people:
Basil Rathbone
Audrey Hepburn
Tyrone Power
Tchaikovsky
Thank you.
Another amazing video, I was wondering if you all over at Biographics would be interested in doing a video on Carlos Castaneda the author of the Teaching of Don Juan.
"Everyone's heard of Miss Dior perfume"
Bold of you to assume. XD
Great job on this video! I think a video about the women of the Nazi party and a separate video about the founders of other luxury brands would be very interesting..... 🧐
She’s tougher than I am....
She was tougher then most of us are nowadays. They broke the mold when they made her!
Can you please cover Joe Louis. Heavy weight boxing world champion and WW2 hero
Another brilliant video ... many thanks for your efforts! You make History come alive with the biographies of amazing characters
Would you please consider Siegfried Sassoon, Countess Marciewicz or Nestor Makhno.
Keep up the amazing vids!
Respect Madam
Very interesting!
She is immortalized^^ Xoxo🌅🗽🌉💝💝💝💝🎆🎈🎁🎄🎇🌅🎐
Could you please do a video on Robert E Howard the creator of Conan the Cimmerian please?
Can you do a biography on Simon Whistler?
Get bent troll
@@JohnDoe-vn1we no u
Simon, could you one on Desmond Doss? From Hacksaw Ridge
I'm a bit confused about the part where it says "Catherine, now 29 but looking a decade younger". If this was July of 1943, Catherine was 25. She was born in August of 1917, and was in fact still only 27 when the war in Europe officially ended in May of 1945.
Countess Markavitz
Please. I have been asking for her for some time.
I've been watching this on repeat!! Love this so much! Please do Georgianna Cavendish and General Patton!!❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
They already did Patton.
I wonder if she met Coorie ten Boom at Ravensbrook.
I wish you had have made it clearer that Ravensbruck was a womens only camp. It should be more well known and spoken of just as much as others.
Please do Ludwig van Beethoven
Please do an episode on another great fashion icon Beau Brummell
Sun Tzu..... Not nearly enough about him, considering what he created.
They've already done one on Sun Tzu
There is some contention if he existed.
Simon, you're pooping 'em out again!
The videos that is.
Yes he is.
Amazing story.
Could you do a video about Christian Dior next?
Wow after this he almost doesn't sound Worthy
