#Death of Henri Borlant

It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Henri Borlant, on December 3, 2024, in his 98th year. Born in Paris in 1927 to a family from Russia, he was evacuated to Maine-et-Loire in 1939. Deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau by convoy no. 8, which left Angers on July 20, 1942, with his father and an older brother and sister, he was the only one to return. He was reunited with his mother and siblings, who had been hidden by the Righteous. After becoming a doctor, shocked by the Touvier trial in 1994, he never stopped bearing witness. We send our deepest condolences to his wife and family.
