High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Milena Jesenska (10 Aug 1896, Prague – 17 May 1944, Ravensbruck, Germany) was a Czech journalist, writer, editor and translator. After the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the German army, Jesenska joined an underground resistance movement and helped many Jewish and political refugees to emigrate. She herself decided to stay, however, despite the consequences. In November 1939 she was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned first in Prague's Pankrac and later in Dresden. In October 1940 she was deported to a concentration camp in Ravensbruck in Germany. Here she provided moral support to other prisoners and befriended Margarete Buber-Neumann, who wrote her first biography after the war. Jesenska died of kidney failure in Ravensbruck on May 17, 1944.
