Death of Victor Kuperminc

It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of Victor Kuperminc on Saturday, February 24, 2024.

Our grief is immeasurable, so much was Victor a pillar of our association. Although he was not strictly speaking a hidden child, he still had to hide his Jewish identity in Paris in the midst of the storm, using tricks such as hiding the yellow star on his chest behind his schoolbooks. Victor was also, and above all, the husband of Marthe, a hidden child. He was her unfailing support until her death in April 2023. He held the purse strings of our association efficiently and faithfully for very many years. He was the friend of the Abadi Children. His constant presence will mark the history of Les Enfants et Amis Abadi for ever.

Victor led a life rich in fine things and fine commitments: a chartered accountant during his working life, treasurer of the “Enfants Cachés” before becoming treasurer of “Les Enfants et Amis Abadi”, author of books (Les Juifs, L’Affaire Leo Frank), translator (Les Joies du Yiddish, Le Grand Livre de la Sagesse Juive), member of the French Committee for Yad Vashem, and a happy, loving and beloved father and grandfather.

In memory of who he was, we invite you to watch the testimony he gave before our camera in 2021. Although he was not hidden during the war, his story remains an extraordinary one.

Let us remember Victor, his generosity and his humour. Let us keep in our memory the man and the friend he was throughout all these years.

Victor has gone to join Marthoune. They are united in eternity, and we keep a special place for them in our grieving hearts.

Goodbye, Victor.
