Marie Taquet was born in Luxembourg in 1898 to a
family of practicing Catholics. When she was twenty, she
married an officer in the Belgian army.
During the occupation of Belgium in 1942, her husband
was assigned to direct Reine Elizabeth Castle, a school
for children of the military in Jamoigne, Belgium. Her
husband did the administrative work and Marie became
the headmistress.
In 1942, there were eighty boys and in 1943, another
eighty arrived, all of them Jewish. Marie agreed to
shelter the boys and taught them to conceal their
identities in order to survive Gestapo raids.
