- Learn about the life of World War II spy Noor Inayat Khan and how she worked with the French Resistance to build the network that defeated the Nazis.
--
In May 1940, with the German army ready to occupy Paris, Noor Inayat Khan was faced with a difficult choice: stand on the sidelines or join the Allied forces fighting the Nazis. After witnessing the devastation across Europe, she travelled to England to learn the art of espionage. Shrabani Basu details how a pacifist turned spy helped build the resistance that toppled a fascist regime.
Lesson by Shrabani Basu, directed by Franz Palomares.

She's a Muslim with a Middle Eastern name born in Russia to an Indian and an American, moved to France and basically became a French, served in a British intelligence agency then died in Germany.
Biographers gonna have a field day with that kind of history lmao.
well, that's a life of Spy.
And yo top it all off she was executed because of a jealous girl!
or,
Ms. Worldwide
Ms. Worldwide
LOL and I thought racism would of been a problem
I can't believe she was caught just because of some jealous woman...
Bitches be crazy
War is cruel.
But jealousy is even crueler.
@@totallynotafanficreader7850 yep
*proceeds to rave*
That is why Envy is the second seven deadly sin
Totally Not a FanficReader periodt 😔😔😔
Wait what?
Her colleague's sister sold her out over a man?!
During a war?! 🙀 That's just evil!
Human jealousy and pettiness knows no bound, sadly.
masterimbecile my jaw dropped when I heard it. Imagine being the cause of death to a hero like her?
Did she even get the German D after the betrayal? We may never know.
@tommy aronson the sister of a colleague ? was she really?
women these days
This is the first time I've ever heard of her. Why do our history lessons skip out on important figures who have risked their lives?
Most are shrouded in secrecy, the same one used to protect their names from the enemy. You're going to find it difficult to dig under all that just to find a single agent used in those days.
because in a world war, pretty much everyone is risking their lives
So many people died doing good things you would have to sped your life learning their deeds.
But yes , this woman would be perfect example of game heroine. Doing her part in winning war , not necessarily with steampunk hand and MG ...
xIdk_ I feel you man
Because, in the grand scope of WWII, she is actually quite insignificant.
she was executed all because of some jealous girl. Smh.
How did they even know it was the jealous girl? Did she come out and admit to doing that?
@@azlan194 she got imprisoned due to that...
@Vespheree preach
😭😭😭
@VesphereeVespheree its narcissistic greedy people, not just mad hoes that are a threat to us all.
World War II was one of the worlds most disastrous conflicts, and its only right for these unsung heroes to get the recognition they deserve.
More of these please ! 😍

i hope that jealous girl regrets everything. noor could have saved so many more lives if she hadn't been captured.
From what I know they arrested the lady who squealed once the allies won
Thank god
@@The8B1tWarrior oh thanks
she doesn't regret anything anymore. She b DED
She probably got her head shaved by the Resistance.
I'm wondering why there isn't a movie about her life?!
Also thanks Ted ed! And the animation is very beautiful as always 💜
Maybe The Enemy of The Reich is about her. Im not sure if its a movie though
Are we supposed to make movies about everybody?
There's is movie coming named Liberty...Indian actress Radhika apte played her character
if interested in the same type of story, watch the indian movie raazi
i wondered the same
Not gonna lie, I shed tears when "Liberty" was shouted by her. We have so many unsung heroes that sacrificed their life to the current condition we have now. Thank you, TED for making this content! 🤝
libertay
Had goosebumps
LITERALLY. I got goosebumps upon hearing it.
@@_daki me too
sincerely same
The STUNTS she pulled to hide her equipment lmaoooo what a legend!!
*SPEECH 100*
*_DECEPTION 100_*
Many nat 20s were rolled
LOL imagine helping the enemy setting up their radio antenna while thinking you are being nice by helping some lady set up her cable
Her name translates to 'light',, such an appropriate name for a great hero :)
Yeah .
@@imaffyy but why .
Interesting! In Arabic (at least the lebanese version) "nar" translates to fire, so maybe they're related!
ya

Who else appreciates the fact that in every video they use different styles
How much time does it take to make a video?
Every video they hire different animator
*Graphic styles
:)
From 8 hours till 1-2 days. Depend how fast they draw and edit.
Alistar I’d think it would take way longer, but it depends on how big the animation team is.
Noor: _survives literal war-tier vigilance_
A frigging literal insidious love triangle: i'm gonna stop you right there
I'm about to end this woman's whole career...

I love how TED-Ed gives lesson and recognition to significant persons in history that are often out of the spotlight
As a muslim woman, i am proud to know this story, may you rest in peace, sister
Schrödinger's Cat half American as well, either way it was her own individual choices, let’s not forget. Given our forefathers a chance, they’d had not done it probably, but depending on the situation anyone would’ve contributed.
@@mmatt6573 her being a sufi muslim had everything to do with it. (by the way i am hindu)
Please stop attacking someone for no damn reason. The people who are being all negative here please try to be a better human being first. We muslims don't judge someone based on their religion. We always try to respect it no matter what. Stop spreading much negativity and start spreading kindness and love. Trust me its better for us and our upcoming generations.
@@aptname9710 :)
@@khadijahmachdar2855 you are using the not all Muslims statement...you cannot deny that majority will judge her like that sadly
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
Love that quote so much!
Mashallah what a brilliant sister 🙏
Thank you for your bravery and your service!
Allahu Akbar
@@diamondbrony8550 eid is saturday I can't wait
@@bubble5942 is that percy from epithet erased ?
Is it true story
@@hamdieilish yep everything on ted ed for history is. They showed us this in school her memorial is at runnymede memorial in surrey is what google says.
It's always so fun to find a story that is rare to be told.
I have to admit, her acting skills are on point
Noor: Setting up big cable thing in the middle of WWII
Soldier: Ma'am what are you doing?!
Noor: Oh you know, I love music so I'm standing up on a roof risking getting shot to hang this up! Nothing suspicious at all!
Soldier: Oh all good let me help you there
...
"She was born to an indian muslim father and an american mother in moscow"
im more interested in how that happened lmao
Her parents met when her dad was visiting NYC. They were introduced by her mother's guardian wanting to introduce her to Indian music. Her dad would travel a lot due to his music and they happened to be in Russia when she was born.
*The theme of WWII never seems to be drained on stories*
Great JOB!
I got the notification as I was watching this also, I love these stories, left mostly unknown and hearing them gives me a little more faith in humanity.
She say no to violence during WW2 wow
Quite a few people did actually! Even in Germany
WWII not WW2
Aung Zan Baw she’s talking about Noor, she never took anyone’s life to help the world.
i’m curious as to how many languages she was able to speak? her intelligence and bravery is INCREDIBLE.
From what I've read, she was fluent in French, English and Russian
So glad you guys did a video about Noor! I first heard about her from Rejected Princesses and I watched a really good documentary about her for a project I worked on. Of all the people that are remembered for their work during WW2, she should be at the top of the list. This was a beautiful video 😊
I love Rejected Princesses! Such amazing women who should be remembered!
It's gives me goosebumps 😭. .
We are proud of you 'noor'.
And remember you 😢
to be honest her being half indian fills my heart with patriotism
her father, inayat khan was a descendent of tipu sultan on his mothers side and afghan on his fathers side
@@preciouseaglecactusfruit I haven't heard such an impressive lineage since Babur being descended from Timur and Genghis Khan both.
@@preciouseaglecactusfruit that's insane
I am not muslim but as much as I know her name Noor Inayat Khan means-
Noor - The divine light
Inayat - Grace, kindness
So she was just like her name, a divine light filled with grace. Guiding the way to freedom.
Doesn't Noor mean the light from above ( the god) ?
There’s an excellent Netflix show about this hero and others, ‘a call to spy’. Total admiration and gratitude for all who walk this path.
Wow she’s so amazing! Why doesn’t our school education system teach more about these kinds of people?
They believe in hypnotizing student to work n obey orders
Discipline is good but freedom of thought should not have boundaries of age
We must do this ourselves then 🙂
Because there are millions of those people and you can't be taught about every single one
Bruh we ain't got time the mitochondria is the power house of the cell
Quoting another commenter: "Because, generally, in the grand scale of things, she was somewhat unimportant."
@@iagreebut4839 but everyone we learn in school is your grand scheme of things might not be so grand in the eyes of another
wow. she extended her pacifist nature even being in war. Like Desmond Doss, who never carried a gun to the battlefield. They are unsung heroes that deserve recognition. Good job! TED-Ed!
My Grandpa was a WWII veteran, My Dad (currently 59) told me that my Grandpa’s brother and him got separated because of the death march. They never heard of my Grandpa’s brother ever again
She was one of many badass ladies at that time of the WW2 craziness. Respect for the military, nurses, and any one who helped the good guys !
I really liked the animations on this one. It matched the tone of the video very well.
“SInce her heroic sacrifice...” The U.S has unsurprisingly failed to teach us about her in our history classes just like all the other amazing women who’s efforts were swept under the rug. 🙂🙂
They also dont teach you about the amount of women who fought on the frontline in the Soviet Union against the Germans.
Brave spirit never dies
they r spirits spirits are ghosts so hosts don't die so spirits don die
*Brilliant* !!
I seem to notice a pattern, However this might just be cognotive bias but it seems like while great women in history seem to be less common than great men of history, their individual stories seem to be much more extreme and they are often one of the Most or the Most interesting players in many historical events
I just want to say Thank you to you Noor Inayat Khan. You're great!
I love it when behind the scenes heroes get the recognition they profoundly deserve
The end of her story is beautiful and heartbreaking
I wish I knew this woman before- heck, she was only 30!!
I wish I would have learned about her in high school - she seems like the kind of person my history teacher would LOVE
Thank you ted ted so much for introducing me to wonderful figures who I can learn and get inspired from. Such contribution of a person should definitely be recognized. You are the team that makes it possible.
Love this!! Love you Ted-Ed! Keep up the great animations!
I can’t even express how much I love this art style.
Never heard of her before, but this was interesting
This legit made me tear up. Thank you for making this video about her incredible life story.
Oh my goodness I cried!!!! These historians were hardened!!! You can not break them !!!
Can we appreciate the artists, illustrators and animators for this please?
I salute her. May her soul rest in peace. I hope more of these heroes get the recognition they deserve.
May her cry echoed forever on and we are able to tell her amazing story. Thank you, TED-Ed, how i ADORE your videos.
People like her should be remembered and respected by all.
I guess we have to do something
I teared up at the end of this video, she was so amazing, a true hero ❤️
such an amazing person. thank you ted ed for teaching me about her
Incredible. And I really expected her to survive. Thank you for reminding us of her legacy
I always love these videos on obscure people from history and the stories and lessons they bring
Beautiful animation! Thanks, TED-Ed!
She needs to be commemorated more, such an inspiration to us all
omg this video made me cry, what a resilient and valiant hero
She's amazing, and this animation is amazing.
Hi ted-ed
Nice and interesting video...
Wonderful animation..
Thanks for the video.🙏👍😊
a goddamn love triangle actually killed someone
oh my god
I have heard a lot of these stories and I love them very much. I really really admire them, the heroes.🤩
Goosebumps as I’ve finished listening to this. Thanks, TedEd!
I was wondering why this had so little likes, then I noticed it was uploaded today, great content indeed
Thank you Sharabi Basu for your service, and thank you people of Ted who are making the videos
Thanks for making this video 💕.
Thank you for such a nice video.
This animation is stunning! ♥️
Man I love the quotes at the beginning
Stories like this make me incredibly sad and incredibly hopeful at the same time...
I learned so much! as always great music, art-style, and narration.
She is more stealthy than me hiding from my mom to just use my phone.
This channel never disappoints. Love the content 💜 .
I almost cried during this she is a inspiring lady thank you so much TED ED for this amazing and beautiful lesson
also just think about it without people like her we wouldn't have won ww2
This is the coolest video I've seen this month.
“First female wireless operator to be dropped behind enemy lines!”
“Answer me one question. The fascists, do they win?”
“Never. Not while there's people like you.”

How can i remember all your history videos but i don't remember anything i learned in history class😅
Caurageous story...why I never heard of her, will tell as many as I can...thanks TedEd u guys rock
Saw her story in the film, "A CALL TO SPY".
Lovely animation and really interesting story sad i never learned about her in history class :(
People like her gave us hope that maybe one person can change the world for better AND keeping their morals ( not only in anime ) very thanks to TED
Thank you always ted ed for educating us!
Hard as nails that one. What courage.

Hahah
Tipu Sultan was thinking of French alliance against British.
His descendant Noor Enayet died for French Resistance.
Animation is more cinematic and fluent in this video! Props to the people in charge.
Never heard of this Noor Inayat Khan person but she is truly a Gentle giant! Much repect her! Great animation and great content, thank you TED-Ed as always.
Yet another forgotten Indian hero in ww2
Well done ted Ed for bringing her story to us ! ❤️💜
@Bergr B Russian? American? Indian?
Whatsoever she did a very good work, helped humanity. She belongs to every country.
Born in Russia.
Father was Indian.
Mother was American.
Lived in France
Worked for the UK.
Religion was Islam.
Now THAT is diversity.
NOOR, YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE HERO! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND EVERYONE YOU HELPED SAVED!
this could be the most awesome ted ed video i ever watch
Wow I'm just 🤯. She's so cool and this so the first time I've heard of her.
Based on *_Spy Princess_* written by Sharbani Basu.
Noor was also a descendant of Tipu Sultan lineage. However the book is more thrilling than any available material.
If so the irony for working with British.
That quote hit me right in the feels man....
Wow Beautiful story and sad but very inspiring loved it
Correction:
The French salute with there palm facing outwards
Other than that great video, most informative, keep it up! 👍
1:36 what's an interesting map in 1940s!
Educative as always. TED-Ed has thought me more than I could ever had learnt in those watered down history classes.
Ted Ex, could you please also make a video about the Filipino Revolution? Or something about Jose Rizal and his works?
