Born
Cipa Widerman into a large Jewish family in Warsaw, Poland in
November of 1922, Nicole Holland immigrated at the age of six
months with her mother and sisters to Paris, France where they
joined her father and brothers. Her happy childhood was spent
in an apartment house built for large families like hers on Ile St.
Louis in the middle of Paris with summers at Colleville, later
known as Omaha Beach.
Once
the Nazis invaded France, and
more specifically Paris, her life changed drastically. As a
Jewish indeterminee or a person with no nationality,
Nicole was included on the list of the first round-ups of
Jews. Barely missing arrest, she escaped to unoccupied France
and took on a new, non-Jewish identity. As a na?ve teenager,
she was thrust from the comfort of a loving home and forced to
survive on her own in several strange cities. Nicole managed to find work and
friends and along the way became a member of the French Underground
in order to do whatever she could to rid France of the Nazi
invaders. When the Germans began retreating, she even joined
the Underground fighters she had supplied with messages and arms as
the only woman fighting with them as liberators.
Upon her
return to Paris, she joined the CAVF, an organization of the former
French Underground. Through this job, she searched for lost
family members and a way to build a future without hatred, fear,
and the devastation of war. One of the Lucky Ones
is the story of her amazing
journey.
