Notes

Individual Note

She had turned deaf after catching German measles at the age of 4. After the separation from her husband, she suffered a nervous breakdown, which in retrospect appears to have been a traumatic menopause. No longer able to care for her 10-year-old son, she was institutionalized in Switzerland. She emerged a few years later, found religion, and established the Christian Sisterhood of Martha and Mary, an order of nuns who helped the sick and needy in Greece. During the war she sheltered Jewish families in Greece and was posthumously honored for heroism by Israel. For the rest of her days she wore a gray habit belted by a white cord and with a veil and wimple.
