A religious Sister who sheltered Jews from the Nazis has been honoured with a plaque in her home town of Hull.
Sister Agnes Walsh, who died in 1993, helped to save a Jewish family from deportation while at a convent in southern France during the war.
She was recognised as a “Righteous Among the Nations” decades ago by Israel’s Holocaust remembrance centre Yad Vashem, but her heroism has long been overlooked in Britain.
The plaque, unveiled by Hull’s lord mayor last week, describes her as a “nun and humanitarian who protected Jews during the Holocaust”.
