Scot who refused to abandon schoolgirls to the Nazis honoured with new plaques

A Scottish missionary who was murdered by the Nazis after caring for Jewish schoolgirls in Budapest has been honoured with new memorials in her adopted city, the Church of Scotland has announced.

The Rev Ian Alexander, who leads on international partnerships for the church, said: “We are delighted that a new plaque and stolperstein has been unveiled outside the church in honour of Jane Haining and her friend and colleague Margit Prem. “Miss Haining was simultaneously an ordinary and extraordinary woman and her inspirational story is one of heroism, personal sacrifice and heartbreak, reminding us that when we feel powerless, there is always something that we can do.”
