Coffee with a Survivor: Marion Deichmann

Holocaust Survivor Marion Deichmann was born in Germany shortly before Hitler's appointment as Chancellor on Jan. 30, 1933. Her family was middle-class German Jewish who could not imagine that all of Continental Europe would capitulate and be occupied by the Nazis. Her book, “Her Name Shall Remain Unforgotten,” is dedicated to her mother, Alice Deichmann, who was murdered at Auschwitz.
Marion joined us to share how she survived thanks to courageous French families who risked their lives to save her from concentration camps.
This was originally recorded on the Museum's Facebook page on June 9, 2021, as part of the Museum's Coffee with a Survivor series.
