- Learn about the life of World War II spy Noor Inayat Khan and how she worked with the French Resistance to build the network that defeated the Nazis.
--
In May 1940, with the German army ready to occupy Paris, Noor Inayat Khan was faced with a difficult choice: stand on the sidelines or join the Allied forces fighting the Nazis. After witnessing the devastation across Europe, she travelled to England to learn the art of espionage. Shrabani Basu details how a pacifist turned spy helped build the resistance that toppled a fascist regime.
Lesson by Shrabani Basu, directed by Franz Palomares.

This is the first time I've ever heard of her. Why do our history lessons skip out on important figures who have risked their lives?
I can't believe she was caught just because of some jealous woman...
i hope that jealous girl regrets everything. noor could have saved so many more lives if she hadn't been captured.
she was executed all because of some jealous girl. Smh.
As a muslim woman, i am proud to know this story, may you rest in peace, sister
World War II was one of the worlds most disastrous conflicts, and its only right for these unsung heroes to get the recognition they deserve.
Not gonna lie, I shed tears when "Liberty" was shouted by her. We have so many unsung heroes that sacrificed their life to the current condition we have now. Thank you, TED for making this content! 🤝
The STUNTS she pulled to hide her equipment lmaoooo what a legend!!
Her name translates to 'light',, such an appropriate name for a great hero :)
I love how TED-Ed gives lesson and recognition to significant persons in history that are often out of the spotlight
She's a Muslim with a Middle Eastern name born in Russia to an Indian and an American, moved to France and basically became a French, served in a British intelligence agency then died in Germany.
Wait what?
I'm wondering why there isn't a movie about her life?!
Who else appreciates the fact that in every video they use different styles
Noor:
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
It's always so fun to find a story that is rare to be told.
I have to admit, her acting skills are on point
"She was born to an indian muslim father and an american mother in moscow"
Mashallah what a brilliant sister 🙏
