That bold advice later saved Idele from deportation.\u00a0 The director of the Catholic High School, a nun in the order Les Dame de Marie, Madame Eulanie, accepted Idele as a student knowing she was a Jew.\u00a0 Idele&#8217;s best friend, Annie, and her parents also knew Idele&#8217;s secret, and, in spite of the danger, welcomed her to their home.\u00a0 Thanks to all of them, Idele had something close to a normal childhood, filled with love and friendship, giving her memories she treasures to this day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-image-182 \">In 1993, with her friend Annie by her side, Idele unveiled three plaques at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem naming Marie and Germaine Goosens; Monsieur and Madame Lannoo, Annie&#8217;s parents; and Madame Eulanie, the director of the school, as Righteous Among the Nations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
