family member's cluttered attic. The husband's name was Lo Le Gall, and the children's names
were Callie and Lon. The writer's name was Christelle Le Gall. Lo was a prisoner of war.
Christelle decided to join the female resistance when she started to fear her family's safety. She
and Lo sent multiple coded letters full of top secret German information. She was creating a plan
to save her husband and to send her children and mother to a safe zone. Her husband was later
killed when his letters were compromised, and Christelle stopped writing in her diary. She has not
been heard of since her last diary writing.
