June Ravenhall : ウィキペディア英語版 | June Ravenhall June Ravenhall (1901–1984) is one of the British Heroes of the Holocaust. She was given that distinction for her efforts at saving Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Elsie June Stickley (she dropped her forename) was a native of Kenilworth who moved to The Hague with her husband, Leslie "Les" Ravenhall, whom she married in 1925. The couple left Coventry for the Netherlands due to Les Ravenhall's business. The couple started a business importing Coventry Eagle motorbikes. Their house and business were expropriated when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. As a British citizen, and since Britain was then in war with Germany, June's husband was sent to a prison camp in Poland, and she relocated to Hilversum. Despite the danger, she sheltered a young Jewish man in her home, at the request of the Dutch resistance. In 2007, 23 years after her death, three of her children accepted a medal and certificate on her behalf at a ceremony at the Israeli Embassy in London.〔(Brief profile of June Ravenhall in ''The Birmingham Post'' )〕 ==References== 〔
