Jane Haining was scarcely a name to the general public even here in Scotland till Sally Magnusson’s TV documentary – The Scot Who Died In Auschwitz – was shown in 2014. Her story was of course known and her memory cherished in certain Church of Scotland circles, and books and articles had been written about her without making a great impression. Now Mary Miller has written a detailed and very moving biography, and Jane Haining is widely recognised as a woman of rare and noble character.
