The last days of Maria Montessori
Maria was nominated for the Nobel Peace for three consecutive years, 1949, 1950, 1951. But regrettably the Nobel Prize eluded her on all three occasions.
Maria spending time with children
In 1951, Maria Montessori went to Holland from India. She made Noordwijk aan Zee, a coastal town, her home. The last few days of Montessori's life were characterized by the same activity and zeal she had shown throughout her career. Her long and self-sacrificing labours on behalf of the child came to a sudden end on the 6th of May, 1952. Maria was 82 years when she passed away. Her work lives on till today through the thousands of Montessorians all over the world who are continuing with her good work.
Maria Montessori was a prolific author and a brilliant speaker.
