Gisela Tschofenig

Gisela Tschofenig was an (illegal) Austrian Communist political activist who after 1938 became an anti-government resistance activist. In 1945 fellow detainees at the Schörgenhub labour camp, who had heard overnight shots on 27/28 April, after seeing Tschofenig called outside with two other women, had their fears confirmed the following morning when one of the camp guards was seen to be wearing their friend's "mountain boots".²
