René Paul-Albert
1911–1940 (age 29)
Biography
Born in 1911, René Paul-Albert came of age in a Paris whose streets held both the promise of renewal and the distant rumble of gathering conflict; his measured resolve and kindness were remembered by neighbors who leaned on one another.
He rests at Père Lachaise Cemetery, where those who value quiet virtue gather to honor the life he lived with gentle steadiness before the war claimed him.
