The life of Jane Haining is to be the subject of a temporary exhibition at the Holocaust Memorial Centre in Budapest.
Jane Haining was a Scottish missionary, who came to Budapest in 1932.
She became the matron of the girls’ home at the Scottish Mission School, where more than 400 girls were studying, mostly with a Jewish background.
After the German invasion in 1944, Jane was transported to Auschwitz, and died there.
In 1997, she was the first ever Scot acknowledged as Righteous Among the Nations at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
Jane Haining is the focus of a new exhibition 'Common Fate' [Sorsközösség] at the Holocaust Memorial Centre in Budapest.
The exhibition, which is open until March 2018, contains a large number of photographs, memoirs and some personal items, as well as a copy of her last letter from Auschwitz.
