Biography
Renée Kann Silver was born in Saarbrucken, in the German state of Saarland. In 1935 the family moved to France. Under German occupation, they were deported to the Gurs concentration camp in southern France, where her mother made the decision to send Renée and her younger sister Edith to hide in the Protestant community of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon. Then the family reunited, obtained fake papers and escaped to Switzerland.
