I was born on March 19, 1941, in the beautiful red clay city of Albi, located in southwest France. The area was known as Vichy - a free zone before the war occupation. I was hidden with my mother and sister by the entire village of Milhars, and especially by two Christian families with five teenagers between them. The children, ages 13 -18 years old, were responsible for hiding me, risking their own lives. My father was hidden in a cave protected by surrounding farmers who never turned him in. We all survived! And now there are two children and four grandchildren!
