context_page_description: Dora Schaul was a German woman noted particularly for her undercover work at official offices in German-occupied France during World War II. She passed on significant information to the French Resistance. Her experiences and those of numerous other German opponents of the National Socialist regime in Germany were described in her 1973 book Résistance – Erinnerungen deutscher Antifaschisten. She has been honored in France by the naming of a street in Brens, Tarn, and in Germany by a plaque near her long-time residence in Berlin.
context_section_description: On 12 March 2006 a street in Brens was renamed.   The Route Dora Schaul ("Dora Schaul Road") leads past the site of the former women's internment camp in which Dora Schaul spent several months until her escape.  Her son, Peter Schaul, was present at the renaming ceremony:  he spoke of his pride and satisfaction that at a time when the past is in danger of disappearing into oblivion, there were still moves to turn back the wheel of history, "because there is a local community in France, a country that suffered under German occupation, naming a street after a German anti-Fascist.   I find that remarkable, courageous and gratifying, and it makes me all the more determined to do what is in my power to see to it that the demon of Fascism is given no chance [to return]."
  On 8 August 2009, which was the tenth anniversary of her death, a commemorative tablet was placed on the outside of the house at Dammweg 73 in Berlin-Treptow.   The house was home to Dora Schaul during her final years.   The inscription reads as follows:
  The Anti-Fascist DORA SCHAUL (1913-1999) lived here.   During the Second World War, she fought in the French Resistance under the name "Renée Fabre" against Nazi occupation.   In Brens, near Toulouse, a street was named after her in 2006.
  The placing of the memorial tablet resulted from a local initiative by the BdA (Treptow anti-fascist league) and the local Civic Committee for Vision and Responsibility.   Its unveiling was accompanied by speeches from the leader of the district council, Siegfried Stock and other local civic leaders.
