Dutch-American Social Worker and Psychoanalyst. As a Dutch social work student, she was credited with saving as many as 150 Jews during the Holocaust. Born Marion Philippina van Binsbergen, she grew up mainly in the Netherlands but traveled frequently to England, where she attended boarding school. Studying social work at the University of Amsterdam, she was 19 when Germany invaded the Netherlands in May of 1940. The following year, she was arrested and imprisoned for seven months after being caught at a meeting where students were transcribing Allied radio broadcasts for dissemination. She committed herself to fighting Nazi persecution when in 1942, she was riding her bicycle to her university in Amsterdam and witnessed the liquidation of a home for Jewish children. Along with about 10 friends, she helped obtain false identity documents and hiding places to help Jews evade arrest. Despite severe food shortages, they scrounged up extra ration cards and provisions. Several times she falsely declared herself to be the unwed mother of a baby to conceal the child’s Jewish identity. For nearly three years, she cared for a Jewish man, Fred Polak, and his children, taking up residence in the country home of an acquaintance where they were hidden. One day, three Germans and a Dutch policeman came to search the house and left, having failed to detect the family, who were hidden under the floorboards. Shortly thereafter, the Dutchman, who nonetheless suspected that something was awry, returned and discovered the hiding place. Before he could make an arrest, van Binsbergen grabbed a small revolver that she had kept for such an emergency and fatally shot him. After the war, she became a United Nations social worker in displaced-persons camps. Through those assignments, she met her husband, Anton Pritchard, a former U.S. Army officer. In 1947, they were married in one of the camps. She graduated from what is now the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and ran a psychoanalysis practice for several decades. In 1981, the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem recognized her as a "Righteous Among the Nations", an honor for non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Her wartime stories were chronicled in book 'Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust' and in the documentary 'The Courage to Care' (1985). Pritchard died from cerebral arteriosclerosis.
