Plaque on Vigil Cairn, Calton Hill, Edinburgh

Jane Haining was born in Dumfriesshire, lived in Pollokshields in Glasgow and became a missionary at the Scottish Mission School in Budapest. Most of the pupils were Jewish. She was detained by the Gestapo, accused, amongst other things, of working among Jews and listening to the BBC. She was arrested and sent to Auschwitz in May 1944, where she was tattooed as prisoner 79467. She is one of ten Scots (including two or three women) who died in the Nazi extermination camps.
