(Israel Hayom) Eli Leon - Jane Haining, the only Scot among the Righteous Among the Nations, was a Scottish missionary who moved to Budapest in 1932 to work in a church boarding school, which during World War II offered sanctuary to Jewish girls, most of them orphans.

She was sent to Auschwitz after refusing to abandon the girls and died there at age 47.
