Archival Overview

French-born Algerian freedom fighter who served as an arms courier during the Battle of Algiers, sentenced to death alongside Fernand Iveton before international campaigns spared her life.

Biographical Record

Born Jacqueline Netter in Rouen, she moved to Algeria as a mathematics teacher in 1948, marrying Abdelkader Guerroudj and embracing the Algerian cause as her own. During the Battle of Algiers, she served as an arms and logistics liaison officer for the FLN Autonomous Zone.

Arrested following the bomb placement by Fernand Iveton, she was sentenced to death in 1957. Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus mobilized global public opinion to commute her sentence. Following 1962, she chose Algerian citizenship, living in Algiers until her death at age 95.
