That day on the platform in the summer of 1942 was the last time the two would see each other. Now, with the Nazi invasion of France, Papillon had instructed the Red Cross in Lens to send Kleinhandler and two other Jewish children to be hidden at the abbey among the 350 ill young residents. For the next three years, he lived with a Jewish family who had evaded the roundup and dodged the Nazis. Through an American Jewish army chaplain, the Glantzes were able to locate Kleinhandler and then secured a visa for him. The abbey is now a hotel and conference center known for its botanical gardens and a home for at-risk children.
