Noor Inayat Khan was born January of 1914 to a family composed of a father who was Indian royalty and a mother from America. Though from India, she was raised primarily in London and Paris, living a fairly normal and productive life. Had not World War II intervened, things may have turned out quite different for her. She studied child psychology and music, wrote poetry and children’s stories and was known for being a quiet, shy and pacifistic person. All this changed with the coming of the German occupation.
