When the Donald L. Cuneo Hall of History opened last October, resident Peng Guan – a cellist studying at Manhattan School of Music – took note of photo of a large group of Chinese residents pictured with Harry and Florence Edmonds on the front steps of International House in 1925.

During World War II, with the French village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, they are credited with saving an estimated 5,000 refugees, the majority of whom were Jewish children, from Nazi concentration camps.
