Do You Remember Me?
First Name:Camille |
Last Name:Silberman |
Update:Camille Silberman was born in Brussels in 1936. In 1942, when Camille was around five or six years old, his parents placed him and his sister in a Protestant orphanage in nearby Uccle. They had been there for less than a year when the orphanage told its Jewish charges that they had to leave. Through a friend in the underground, his parents contacted Father Bruno Reynders, who is now famous for having rescued more than 300 Jewish children in Belgium during the Holocaust. Father Bruno placed the two Silberman children in a convent in Bruges, where they stayed for the next two years. Camille was hidden under the name Camille Stevens.
