Princess Caradja worked with the
orphanage her nnther had start¬
ed, and which her grandmother
had taken over after the death of
her mother. She maintained the
orphanage until 1949, when all was
taken over by the State offices.
After several attempts to escape,
she was finally successful in 1952,
with the aid of her daughter. From
1949 until 1954 she gave talks in
France, on the BBC networks in
London, and then worked with a
friend in Algiers after an earth¬
quake, organizing child relief.
In 1955 she came to the U.S.,
where she has spoken all over
this country and in Canada. She
said she feels her service to her
lost countries “lives in telling the
Free World about ‘The Worth of
Freedom’ and encouraging it to
protect and defend its freedom.”
Ted Jackson, president of SGA,
said, “Having someone from be¬
hind the Iron Curtain is always
good to show a different view¬
point. We would like to encourage
anyone interested to attend her
lecture, as it is not open to his¬
tory and social science classes
only.”
Princess Caradja spoke at How¬
ard a few years ago.
