Berthe Badehi, a Holocaust survivor and volunteer at Yad Vashem, celebrated her 90th birthday this week with colleagues, family and friends.
Berthe survived the Holocaust as a child hiding in France, in the house of a local farmer, Marie Massonnat. Berthe recalls her time with the Massonnat family:
“She took care of me for 3 years. They were the most beautiful years of my childhood. They are still my family, my Christian family from France. We are not a Jewish or Christian family, but a family all the same.”
13 March 1997, Yad Vashem recognized Marie Massonnat as Righteous Among the Nations. Today Berthe Badehi volunteers at Yad Vashem, helping the visitors and giving testimony about her experiences during the Holocaust to students and educators from Israel and abroad.
