Summary
[edit]DescriptionAlgerie alger couvent orphelinat combardement 1943.jpg |
English: Algiers convent where fifteen nuns were killed by Nazi bombs. When German dive bombers raided the North African port of Algiers on April 17, fifteen Catholic sisters perished at their prayers as the bombs demolished this convent-orphanage. The fifteen who died and three sisters who were severely wounded remained behind to pray when the raid started while other nuns led sixty orphans from the building to the safety of an air raid shelter. Among the victims was Mother Superior Marie Duval, who had been at the convent for thirty-one years. General Henri Honore Giraud, civil and military commander-in-chief of French North and West Africa, awarded Mother Duval the French Legion of Honor posthumously, stating: "On April 17, 1943, she was a victim of German barbarism, as were fourteen of her sisters." This picture was radiophotoed from North Africa to the United States. |
