English text below – Français au bas

Renée Cassin , goddaughter of Nelly Quintart , shows Michel van der Burg the miniature diorama she made in a glass showcase, with scenes of Belgian Resistance fighter Nelly Quintart hiding the Jewish Frankenthal family (Esther, Adolphe, and daughter Sally) at her place, 13 Rue Marie-Thérèse in Brussels, from September 1942 until the liberation in 1944, and a scene with the ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ medal for Nelly — recommended by Sally Frankenthal to Yad Vashem in the 1990s.
The film also features the original briefcase used by Nelly to secretly buy the daily food for all from multiple grocery stores.

Recorded April 11, 2025, in Guesthouse Marie-Thérèse – across the street of that historical site — on our way to the installation ceremony of the Sally Frankenthal Stolperstein, a stumbling stone to recall passers-by to the story of Sally & Nelly.
