Ravensbrück Memorial Museum
Memorial service in honour of Sister Élise Rivet (Mère Marie Élisabeth de l'Eucharistie)
29. March 2026 – 15:00 - 16:30 Uhr
30 March 2026 marks the 81st anniversary of the death of the French nun Élise Rivet (Mère Marie Élisabeth de l'Eucharistie). As Mother Superior of the Notre Dame de Compassion convent in Lyon, she supported the French Resistance, helped persecuted people to go into hiding, and organised forged documents. In March 1944, she was denounced, arrested by the Gestapo and deported via Fort Montluc prison and the Neue Bremm camp to Ravensbrück concentration camp. A few weeks before the camp’s liberation, on Good Friday, 30 March 1945, she sacrificed herself for a mother and was murdered in her place in the gas chamber.
In her memory, the Catholic parishes of Fürstenberg/Havel, Neubrandenburg and Waren invite you to a memorial service on 30 March 2026 at 3.00 pm in the event hall of the Ravensbrück Memorial Site.
We look forward to your attendance!
