Albert Bedane

Albert Gustave Bedane (1893–1980) lived in Jersey during the German occupation during World War II, and provided shelter to a Jewish woman and others, preventing their capture by the Nazis.

The Jersey recipients were Louisa Gould, Ivy Forster, Harold Le Druillenec and Bedane.

[2][4][5] It was, according to historian Freddie Cohen, the first time that the UK Government recognised the heroism of Jersey islanders during the German occupation.

[6] The Righteous Among the Nations medal and certificate are on display in the Occupation Tapestry Gallery at the Jersey Maritime Museum on New North Quay.

A plaque erected by the Vingtaine de la Ville marks the site of his home in Roseville Street, St Helier, where he sheltered escapees.
