Among the names Yad Vashem honours as Righteous Among the Nations is Anne Beaumanoir.
The record lists Anne Beaumanoir as French physician, Righteous among the Nations.
Anne Beaumanoir was born at Saint-Cast-le-Guildo in 1923. Her recorded nationality is France.
By occupation Anne Beaumanoir was physician, french resistance fighter and activist - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Yad Vashem's criteria are strict: the rescuer must have risked their life, liberty or position, and must have sought no payment. That is why the title carries the weight it does.
Recognition: Righteous Among the Nations (1996).
Anne Beaumanoir died in 2022, aged 99. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
