She became the head of that organization.

During the war In the summer of 1942, she was approached by Belgium's main Jewish underground organization. They asked her to help Jewish children that had been separated from their parents. She of course agreed. Nevejean saved the lives of 4,000 children.

More during the war When the Jewish underground that financed her operation were unable to give her all the funds she needed, she went to banks and the London based Belgian government. The gestapo attempted to stop her. They arrested some of the rescuers and rescuees. However, they were not successful when nevejean, queen Elizabeth, and others took a stand to stop them.

After the war Nevejean was honored inside as well as outside of Belgium. She was designated righteous among the nations in Her image was also placed on a stamp in She later died in the year 1987.
