BIOGRAPHY
Line Marmajou was born in Paris, France, on 20 December 1901.
On 26 January 1926, she married Georges Hyppolite Théophile Urfer (1897–1980), but the marriage only lasted for 18 years, until they divorced on 31 May 1944.
During World War II, she helped save several people, an act for which she was awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, on 12 January 1997. During the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup in Paris in July 1942, she sheltered her neighbor, Mrs. Plawner, and her daughter, Fella, who had come to her seeking refuge. She hid them for several weeks until they were able to leave the capital.
Line Marmajou passed away in the commune of Puteaux in the Hauts-de-Seine department, on 25 April 2012, at the age of 110 years, 127 days.
