She was a member of the Comet Line network, which helped Allied pilots who had been shot down over enemy territory to return to England via France and Spain. After being betrayed, she was arrested and deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp and finally Mauthausen concentration camp. She was liberated there in April 1945.[2][3][4]
After many decades of silence, she decided during the 1990s to testify to young people and the general public about her war years. Dumon died in on 30 January 2025, at the age of 102.[5]
