The will of Jane Haining, who was known as “Scotland’s Schindler,” found in Scottish church.
Scotland’s Jane Haining, who worked in a church-run school for orphan girls in Budapest during World War II, sheltered and protected Jewish girls from the Nazis. Her handwritten will has been found in the archives of a Scottish church, according to a Fox News report "Holocaust heroine's will, lost photos, unearthed in Scotland."
She successfully managed to evade capture for 4 years but was eventually turned in and charged with various crimes for which she was convicted and sent to Auschwitz. Under unknown circumstances she passed away in the concentration camp in 1944.
The will is short and sparse, but it is considered to be a treasure.
The will of this heroine should be of interest to historians who want to learn more details about the people who died in the holocaust and the people who tried to protect them.
