Charlotte Holzer

Charlotte Abraham Päch Holzer (December 7, 1909 – September 29, 1980) was a Jewish resistance fighter during World War II. She was a member of the Baum Group, a collaborative anti-Nazi resistance organization.

Life Holzer was born Charlotte Abraham in Berlin, Germany.

Holzer returned to Germany after the war and married Richard Holzer, a Baum Group member who had participated in an arson attack against an anti-Soviet exhibit in Berlin. Richard had escaped to Hungary after the arson attack. He was the only person who perpetrated the attack to survive. The others were executed by the Nazis or murdered by the Nazis in concentration camps.

Holzer was one of the very few Baum Group members to survive the war. In the 1960s, she was interviewed by East German journalists about the group's resistance activities. Her interviews were compiled and published in the book, Years of Defiance: The Herbert Baum Group and Jewish Resistance in Berlin.
