Francine Agazarian suffered from survivor’s guilt about her husband's death. In 1967, she visited Flossenburg. Vera Atkins, a senior official of SOE, consoled and supported her with money for many years. She wrote to Atkins: "For many years I felt it was not right that I was alive. I should have gone when they did and in the same manner.” Francine Agazarian died on June 24, 1998 at the age of 85. (4/4)
