Biography

Gertrud Luckner (German: [ˈɡɛʁ.tʁuːt ˈlʊk.nɐ] ; born Jane Hartmann; 26 September 1900 – 31 August 1995) was a Christian social worker involved in the German resistance to Nazism. A member of the banned German Catholics' Peace Association, she organised food packages for Jews deported to Poland and travelled in Germany to give assistance to Jewish families. On one such journey, she was arrested, and she spent the remainder of the war in Ravensbrück concentration camp. She was named as righteous among the Nations by Yad Vashem in 1966.
