Simone Sarah Deitz (27 February 1914, Paris, France-06 March 1999, Springfield, Massachusetts). Simone Deitz was a professor of French at American International College, Springfield, Massachusetts from 1967 until her retirement in 1982. She was a friend of French philosopher Simone Weil (1909-1943), and Deitz claimed to have baptized Weil a few months before the philosopher's death. A French Freedom Fighter for the Resistance during World War II, Deitz came to the United States in 1950 and eventually taught for a time at Mount Holyoke College. She was cremated, and her ashes remain with a former student of hers, Dr. Joseph A. Wieczorek, from American International College.
