in 1908, Koopman's mixed heritage exposed her to discrimination that shaped her worldview. Twenty years later, Koopman arrived in Paris in the 1930s and made history as the first model of mixed race to be featured on French Vogue. When World War II engulfed Europe, she leveraged her social connections and multilingual abilities to gather intelligence for the Allied forces in Italy, using her glamorous personal to cover for clandestine work. But this dangerous double life led to her capture by the fascists in 1941. She was held in various detention camps and was set to be deported to Germany but escaped and rejoined the Resistance. In 1944, she was caught spying on high-ranking German officers and sent by the Nazis to the notorious women's concentration camp at Ravensbrück, where she was one of the few who survived.
