Miss Daman was one of a number of courageous Christians in Nazi- occupied Europe who risked life it¬ self to help Jews during the brutal Nazi period. Her heroic deeds are chronicled in a book, "Their Broth¬ er's Keeper. " by PhiUp Freedman,
Miss Daman recenly appeared on Chet Huntley s NBC television net work program devoted to the stor
Miss Jeanne Daman
ies of six European-Christians who aided in the rescue of Jews, In underscoring that there were "few" individuals on whom Jews could count for help. Mr, Huntley asser¬ ted that "it is important to find those who helped, not only for their sake, but for ours."
It was shortly after the Nazis occupied Belgiunvthat Miss Daman, then a school teacher, was told by the Nazi rulers that her schoolwork did not conform to the spirit of "New Germany," She defied the order by accepting an invitation to teach  at an  all-Jewish  school.
The Nazis closed the school. but not before they compelled Miss Daman to hand over three kinder¬ garten children to the Gestapo. The destination was a gas chamber.
This Nazi brutality wa^ the. turn¬ ing point in her life. Miss Daman joined the Jewish underground in its struggle against the invader and in the rescue of Jewish children.
At the close of World War II Miss Daman resumed her career in education with special emphasis on the rehabilitation of Jewish chil¬ dren who had survived the concen¬ tration camps and had been re¬ turned to Brussels,
Time and again she has visited Israel to meet with the many youngsters she helped to rescue- many of whom are now parents themselves in the Jewish state.
She has been the recipient of several humanitarian awards. Tem¬ ple Ner Tamid of Miami is pre¬ senting her with its "Humanitarian Award," in recognition of her cour¬ ageous efforts as a Christian to save  the lives of Jewish children.
