PROVENANCE BACKGROUND: Vittel Internment Camp (1941-1945) This Bibles most extraordinary feature is its deeply personal connection to the Vittel Internment Camp during World War II. The handwritten note records that the book belonged to Miss Elsie Tilney in the camp from 1941-1945, and the 'Geruft 3 Front-Stalag 194' stamp. Subsequent inscriptions document the books passage to other individuals in 1947, T. Warren, Mdm? Marriott (formerly of Nantes France), and then C. W. Procter, Paris where it is dated 1947 documenting a possible chain of ownership among expatriates or former internees in immediate post-war France. [The names Warren, Marriott and Procter have all been found in the Arolsen Archive, the largest archive of victims and survivors of the Holocaust]. Miss Elsie Tilney (1893-1974) was a remarkable British missionary from Norwich and a genuine Holocaust heroine. After working in Paris when it fell to the Nazis, she was interned in the Vittel camp with other foreign nationals and hundreds of Polish Jews who were using false South American passports. Within the camp, she used an administrative position to hide records and papers that could have exposed the Jewish internees to the horrors of the death camps. In her most famous act of bravery, she secretly hid a Polish soldier, Sashe Krawec, in her own bathroom for 16 weeks, saving him from deportation to Auschwitz. Her selfless actions led to her being honoured posthumously as 'Righteous Among the Nations' by Yad Vashem, one of only a few dozen Britons to receive the award. She never spoke publicly about her wartime experiences after returning home, making personal items like this Bible invaluable records of her quiet courage.
