Selma Steinmetz

Selma Steinmetz (1 September 1907 - 16 June 1979) was an Austrian educator and author who emigrated to France after the cancellation of democracy in Austria. In France she became a resistance activist following the German invasion in 1940. At the end of 1945 she was able to return to Vienna (where she had spent her student years) and was one of the first researchers to study the histories of victims of National Socialism. After 1963 she was an important contributor to the work of the Austrian Resistance Archive (''"Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes"''). Provided by Wikipedia
