Louis Mandin in the 6th arrondissement, Paris

58 bis rue d'Assas.

'À Louis MANDIN
Poète de "l'Aurore du Soir"
ET À
MARIE-LOUISE MANDIN
sa Femme
ARRÊTÉS PAR LES ALLEMANDS
LE 25 NOVEMBRE 1941
MORTS EN DÉPORTATION'

Wikipedia states that Louis (born 1872) was one of the founders of La Vérité française, a secret newspaper of the Resistance which brought out thirty-two issues before they were arrested. At seventy-one, he was apparently beaten to death by a Polish inmate in 1843 in Sonnenburg prison. The page also notes that Marie-Louise died in Bergen-Belsen in 1945.
