the war, where she acted as an informant against other detainees. Postwar After the war, Carré was deported to France where she faced charges for treason. At the trial, which started on 3 January 1949, the prosecution read from her diary: "What I wanted most was a good meal, a man, and, once more, Mozart's Requiem." She was defended by her wartime commander, Paul Archard but was sentenced to death on 7 January 1949. Three months later, the sentence was commuted to 20 years in jail. Carré was released in September 1954. She published an account of her life in J'ai été "La Chatte" (1959; revised in 1975 as On m'appelait la Chatte ("I Was Called the Cat")) in which she denied many claims that had been made about her and her activities during the war. She died in Paris at the age of 98. References Sources Jacques Baumel, Résister (mentions the betrayal ) Based on extensive interviews London and Paris. Paine, Lauran (1976).
