However, against all odds she survived the war and testified against the prison guards at the Hamburg RavensbrĂĽck Trials. She was awarded the George Cross in 1946; the first woman ever to receive the award, and the only woman who has been awarded it while still alive. (From Wikipedia, licensed under CC-BY-SA)
