Wikipedia description:

Doreen Agnes Rosemary Julia Warriner (16 March 1904 – 17 December 1972) was an English development economist and humanitarian. In October 1938, she journeyed to Czechoslovakia to assist anti-Nazi refugees fleeing the Sudetenland, recently occupied by Germany. She became the head of the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia in Prague which helped 15,000 German, Czech, and Jewish refugees escape Czechoslovakia while the country was being occupied and annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938 and 1939. Told that she would be arrested by the Germans Warriner departed Czechoslovakia on 23 April 1939. She was appointed an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1941. After the War, she returned to academia and taught at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies. She was a posthumous recipient of the British Hero of the Holocaust award.
