Maria "Masha" Bruskina (Belarusian: Марыя Барысаўна БрускінаMarïya Barïsawna Bruskina; Russian: Мария Борисовна Брускина; 1924 – 26 October 1941 in Minsk[1]), was a Belarusian Jewish teenage nurse and a communist martyr[2] to the anti-fascist resistance during the early years of World War II,[3] as well as a niece of the sculptor and Soviet MP Zair Asgur. While volunteering as a nurse, she cared for wounded Red Army soldiers, and assisted them in escaping then Nazi-occupied Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. For this, she and 11 other communists of the anti-fascist underground were imprisoned, tortured, and when the teenagers refused to reveal any secrets, was publicly executed by the German Wehrmacht.[4]
