Pierre Antoine Coronel was the son of Salomon Haïm Coronel and a non-Jewish mother. He was a radio operator. During the war, he took part in the resistance, operating an illegal broadcasting station hidden in the hospital 'Onze Lieve Vrouwen Gasthuis'. During the raid that followed the discovery of the station, he died.
After the war, Pierre Antoine Coronel was buried in the field of honour in Overveen. In Amsterdam, a street was named after him: Coronelstraat. At Onze Lieve Vrouwen Gasthuis there is a memorial tablet commemorating the resistance operations that took place there.
