Exhibition- Nancy Wake
Nancy Grace Augusta Wake was born in 1912 in Wellington, New Zealand. In 1935, Nancy visited Vienna and Berlin, where anti-Semitism and the Nazis’ persecution of Jews had prevailed by then. While she visited Vienna, she witnessed how the Nazis attacked Jews and killed them on the street. Nancy couldn’t stand it, and she decided to do anything in her power to oppose the Nazi regime. In 1940, when the Germans invaded France, Nancy's acquaintances helped her cooperate with several resistance organizations. In 1943, Nancy moved to England and started working with the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
