anne de gaulle

anne de gaulle -lrb- 1 january 1928 -- 6 february 1948 -rrb- was the youngest daughter of general charles de gaulle and his wife , yvonne .
she was born in trier , germany , where her father was stationed .
yvonne de gaulle was struck by an automobile shortly before anne 's birth .
she was born with down syndrome and lived with her family until her death .
de gaulle 's relatives all testified that the general , who was normally undemonstrative in his affections for his family , was more open and extroverted with anne .
he would entertain her with songs , dances , and pantomimes .
in october 1945 , yvonne de gaulle bought the château de vert-cœur at milon-la-chapelle -lrb- yvelines -rrb- , where they installed a private hospital for handicapped young girls : the `` fondation anne de gaulle '' .
anne died of pneumonia on 6 february 1948 , aged 20 , at colombey-les-deux-Églises .
upon her death , her father said : `` now , she 's like the others . ''
-lrb- '' `` maintenant , elle est comme les autres . '' '' -rrb-
on 22 august 1962 , charles de gaulle was the victim of an attempted assassination at petit-clamart .
he later said that the potentially fatal bullet had been stopped by the frame of the photograph of anne that he always carried with him , placed this particular day on the rear shelf of his car .
when he died in 1970 , he was buried in the cemetery of colombey beside his beloved daughter .
