We at USC Shoah Foundation are saddened to learn about the passing of Marion Pritchard, a Dutch woman of great courage who rescued many Jews during the Holocaust. She was 96.

Born Nov. 7, 1920, in Amsterdam, Pritchard was raised an Anglican but risked her life to save Jews from Nazi persecution during World War II. She was arrested for her efforts.

She gave her testimony to USC Shoah Foundation in 1998.

The contest is open to all secondary students, asking them to watch clips of testimony from the Visual History Archive and create artistic comic strip-style pieces inspired by the stories they heard.
