Biography
Madeleine Dreyfus (née Kahn) (1 March 1909 â 10 January 1987) was a war resistor and psychologist from a French Jewish family. During the Second World War when the country was occupied by fascist Nazi forces, she worked with the Children's Relief Organization (abbreviated OSE) in Lyon, France, and became an important part of the Garel resistance network. After her capture in July 1944, she was sent to the Drancy camp and later to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She was liberated by Allied troops in April 1945, surviving despite starvation and disease.
