Gitta Bauer
Gitta Bauer (born 1919 in Berlin, died 1990) was a German journalist.
==Opposing Nazism==
She was born into a liberal family and raised a Catholic. She was a member of a Catholic movement, that was banned by the Nazis in 1935. Some years later, she was sent to prison for publishing a small newspaper with six friends, that advocated peace.
In 1944, her childhood friend, Ilse Baumgart, who was half Jewish and lived in Berlin under an assumed identity, where she worked as a secretary, got into great trouble. Upon hearing of the 20 July plot, she asked "Is the swine (Hitler) dead? Then the war is finally over". Her comment was reported, but the officer who came to arrest her was himself opposed to the Nazis, and gave her 15 minutes to escape. She was then hidden for the next nine months in the home of Gitta Bauer. Bauer later recounted: "This was no big moral or religious decision. She was a friend and she needed help. We knew it was dangerous, and we were careful, but we didn't consider not taking her".〔Kristine Bischof ("Gitta Bauer, Germany" ) The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation〕
In 1984 Gitta Bauer was honored as a "Righteous among the Nations" by Yad Vashem for saving her friend. She was initially in doubt about accepting the honor, not feeling she did anything extraordinary, but eventually she did.〔Beate Kosmala, Revital Ludewig-Kedmi, ''Verbotene Hilfe.
