Émilie Tillion is listed in the Art Critics section of the WikiProject Women in Red requested articles page. Some parts were taken from Tillion's French Wikipedia page. Particularly, her role in Pierre and Jean de Vomécourt's escape was taken from there. The NY Times source merely cited that she was imprisoned for helping an airman escape. Feel free to contribute and add sources. Regards, Darwin Naz (talk) 12:29, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... that the Nazis at Ravensbrück killed French Resistance fighter Émilie Tillion(pictured) by gas chamber for having white hair? Source: "She [Germaine Tillion] survived, but her mother, who was picked up for hiding a British airman, died in a gas chamber at Ravensbrück in 1945. She was selected for death for having white hair." (Douglas Martin, The New York Times, 25, April 2008 [1])
Overall: New article that is both long enough and well-referenced. No copyvios detected. This rather sad but interesting hook is cited. QPQ done. Good to go! TJMSmith (talk) 00:10, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Darwin Naz, the various sources you've linked to spell her maiden name as "Cussac". Is there a reason the article uses "Cussack" instead? MeegsC (talk) 10:09, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
