Gertrud Steinl Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 23, 2020.
Gertrud Steinl was the last surviving German honored for saving Jewish lives during the Holocaust. She was a supervisor at a company in Poland when a co-worker confided to her that she was Jewish. Stenl was able to send the woman to live with her parents, saving her life. In 1979, she was recognized by Israel as Righteous Among the Nations, the country’s highest honor to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.

What a remarkable life Gertrud Steinl had. The loss of a spouse, parent or friend who has endured a long life is still heart breaking. Gertrud surely had a life filled with treasured memories with loved ones and friends. God promises a reunion when all can smile and find joy in reminiscing about those good times.
