I was born in 1938 into an observant Jewish family in France, where my German parents had fled after Hitler came to power. When Nazi searches intensified in 1944, my parents changed my Jewish-sounding name from Levy to L’Or and sent me to live with Soeur St. Cybard, a nun and Resistance member. After eight months hiding in Catholic school near the village of Oradour where 600 civilians were massacred, I was reunited with my parents after liberation, though I initially felt abandoned. I later became a teacher and school psychologist in America, writing “Never Tell Your Name” to honor Soeur St. Cybard’s bravery and share my experience as a hidden child.
