Elli Voigt

Elli Voigt (22 February 1912 – 8 December 1944) was a German resistance fighter during the Nazi era.

Early life Born into a working-class family in Berlin, Voigt joined in her youth the "Fichte" workers' sports association. She married Max Giese in 1930 and had a daughter with him, but they divorced in 1934. She then met communist Fritz Voigt, who was arrested in 1935 and spent several years in prison and Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

Working at the Schönow cable factory, Voigt established connections with the resistance group led by Franz Jacob and Anton Saefkow in the fall of 1943. She also formed links with resistance groups in Bernau and Zepernick. Some of Voigt's resistance activities included printing and distributing flyers, obtaining forged papers for persecuted individuals, and supporting forced laborers in nearby camps.
