It was past midnight on Thursday the 13th of May 1937 when Laetitia Toureaux exited the métro station and began making her way home. She had been working that evening in the cloakroom of L’As de Coeur, a nightclub in central Paris, and had to get up early next day for her shift in a shoe wax factory. Though the hour was late and the streets were quiet, Laetitia was not afraid. Because of her part-time work in the club, she was used to moving around the city alone at night – and, besides, it was only 50 metres (164 feet) from the Pierre-Auguste métro station to her home a 3 rue Pierre Bayle, a short street that leads to the famous Père Lachaise cemetery. This night, however, was not to be like all the others.
She had just arrived in front of her building and rang the doorbell for the concierge to let her when a man attacked her from behind. Laetitia turned and hit her assailant several times. In the meantime, the door opened and Laetitia was able to escape to safety into the hallway. The man fled.
