Parents sue deputies, EMT in son's death after struggle

WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman credited with saving dozens of Jews in the Netherlands during the Holocaust has died at 96. Marion Pritchard's son Arnold Pritchard said Wednesday by telephone that his mother died Dec. 11 from cerebral arteriosclerosis in Washington. In 1981, the Yad Vashem memorial in Israel recognized Pritchard as "righteous among the nations," a title for gentiles who rescued Jews during the Holocaust. Pritchard was said to have aided as many as 150 people, including many children, but she insisted that she couldn't have done it without help from others. Pritchard later became a United Nations social worker in displaced-persons camps and met her husband, Anton Pritchard, a former U.S. Army officer. They later lived in New York and Vermont, where she ran a psychoanalysis practice for decades.
