The record lists Marie-Louise Charpentier as French nurse, Righteous among the Nations.
Marie-Louise Charpentier was born at Rennes in 1905. Her recorded nationality is France.
By occupation Marie-Louise Charpentier was nurse, social and health care assistant and french resistance fighter - 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 (1990).
Marie-Louise Charpentier died in 1998, aged 93. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
