Holocaust Survivor To Share Her Experience As Hidden Child To Princeton Community

PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton Public Schools will welcome Holocaust survivor Maud Dahme as she shares her experience as a hidden child.

Maud Dahme was four years old when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands in 1940.

Through a secret network organized by the Dutch Resistance, Maud and her sister went into hiding and moved between several families over the course of the war. Because of the kindness of these families, she and her sister survived the war and were eventually reunited with their parents.

In 1950, Maud and her family immigrated to the United States, where she would go on to live a life of accomplishment and giving.

Initially reluctant to speak about her journey, Maud now addresses audiences all over the world and has received a multitude of honors and recognitions, including induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame, bestowal of the title of Knight by the King of the Netherlands, and appointment to the position of President of the New Jersey State Board of Education.

The Princeton community is welcome to hear Maud's story and learn about her remarkable life. The event will take place on Monday, Dec. 1, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Princeton High School Performing Arts Center.
