Maria Magdalena Jahn
German religious of the Sisters of Saint Elizabeth / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Magdalena Jahn, religious name Maria Paschalis, (7 April 1916 – 11 May 1945) was a German religious of the Sisters of Saint Elizabeth.[1][2][3] Jahn worked in several cities as a nurse for the children and the aged before she was transferred in 1942 where she would cook and assist the elder sisters.[1] But the rise in violence towards the end of World War II saw her relocated to seek refuge in Czechoslovakia where a Russian soldier killed her in mid-1945 when she refused his advances.[3][4][5]
