The school had 400 pupils, most of them Jewish. Jane was back in the UK on holiday when war broke out in 1939, but she immediately went back to Hungary to do all she could to protect the children at the school. She refused to leave in 1940, and again ignored orders to flee the country in March 1944 when Hungary was invaded by the Nazis. She remained with her pupils, writing 'if these children need me in days of sunshine, how much more do they need me in days of darkness'." Her brave persistence led to her arrest in by the Gestapo in April 1944, for "offences" that included spying, working with Jews and listening to the BBC. She died in the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz just a few months later, at the age of 47. Her courage and self-sacrifice, her choice to stay and to protect the children in her care, has made her an inspiration to many. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Haining, Jane, |d1897-1944. 650 0 Women missionaries |zScotland |vBiography. 650 0 Missionaries |zScotland |vBiography. 650 0 Missions |zHungary |zBudapest |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |vBiography. 600 17 Haining, Jane, |d1897-1944. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01637274 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 650 7 Missionaries. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01023720 650 7 Missions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01023771 650 7 Women missionaries. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01178158 651 7 Hungary |zBudapest. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206109 651 7 Scotland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206715 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 852 0 |bstacks |hBV2622.H35 |iM55 2019
