Shortly after her parents were arrested by French police, seven-year-old Nicole Spinner was seized from her school in France and taken to Drancy concentration camp. When she arrived, overwhelmed and suffering from an ear infection, she was cared for and protected by another woman in the camp, Mariette Etlin, whom she came to refer to as “Marraine” (godmother). Nicole stayed with Mariette and her husband after Drancy was liberated, and later reunited with her father. Nicole and her family remained close with Mariette until her passing. She shared her testimony with us in 2023.
