GREATEST
PERSON OF
THE WEEK
Vicky Joseph
Mothers’
Biggest Helper
VICKY JOSEPH SAYS she was
“haunted” by her mother’s experience surviving the Holocaust.
The 56-year-old Naperville,
Illinois mother of two was so
moved by her mother’s experience — and by the young woman who risked her life to protect
her — that she has dedicated
her life to helping others.
Were it not for the help of
Jeanne Dusorren, who recently
turned 91, Joseph’s mother
Evelyn Markell, now 77, might
have died. Risking death or
torture at the hands of the Nazis, Dusorren hid Markell and
her family in the Netherlands
