Those who risked their life to save Jews during the Shoah are almost by definition extraordinary human beings.

One such is “Mademoiselle” Andree Geulen.

These ‘righteous among the nations’ are honoured in Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem national Holocaust memorial.

I had not heard of Andree Geulen before. I have now.

She has just celebrated her 90th birthday,

I defy you not to shed a tear when you watch and listen to this amazing tribute to her.
