A Life that went beyond all BordersBorders that marked her childhood and youth![]() While yet a child, Magdeleine already experienced borders and division. Her family came from Lorraine and Little Sister Magdeleine spent her summer vacations with her grandmother in Seuzey, a village 40 kilometres from the German border. She experienced the danger that living in that place entailed. The village was occupied by the German army on October 4, 1914 and her grandmother was assassinated. Later her two brothers died on the front. Thus for her, the border between the two countries meant threat and sorrow. The wound of this experience would remain a heavy personal problem for her for many years. In a letter dated February, 1948 she wrote:
These experiences sensitized her for life to border conflicts that exist between countries. |
