Francine Christophe was born in 1933, the same year that Adolph Hitler took power in Germany. When she was eight years old, she and her mother were deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. In this interview for "Human," a film project directed by photographer, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, she recounts an extraordinary tale of generosity at a time of great privation.

Never mind folks I found the reason.

Note: In French, bébé (baby) is a masculine word, so it was translated as he. So although the baby was in fact a girl, she was correctly referred to as le bébé and not la bébé, which doesn’t exist.
Matthew Boyer
So does anyone know if the baby was male or female. Francine Christophe states twice that it is a boy, then the person who gets up on stage says "she" is that baby. I am very confused. Any clarification would be appreciated.

On the french story, it is never said il the baby is male or female. It must be a problème of translation bécasse thé word "baby" is masculine in french.
Nice story.

She says it was a baby boy but later in life a woman says she was the baby?

Wonderful story of reconnection and kindness in the moment of crisis and the joy that comes from sharing!

Very touching story indeed..... It's truly amazing when a person is able to help and show kindness to someone else when they themselves are going through a challenging time.....
Jean Cherni
A thrilling story of generosity re-paid. What is confusing, however, is that the "baby" is twice referred to as "he" and then at the end we learn it is a woman.
Never-the-less, a most affecting video. Thank You
