Friends of Terpsichore

When Sabina Spielrein returned to Russia in 1923 she opened a kindergarten where children were to be raised as free persons as early in life as possible. Although Stalin had enrolled his own son Vasily under a false name, the institution was closed by the authorities using doctored-up sexual perversions on the children as an excuse.

Her husband Pavel Scheftel died in Stalin’s Great Terror in 1936, and her brother, a pioneering Soviet psychologist, also in 1937. Sabina Spielrein and her two daughters were murdered by Nazi troops in 1942:

Helen Rodriguez/Helen of Burma:

Born in Burma/Myanmar on the 24th October 1914, to a Portuguese surgeon and a Scottish nurse. She grew up in Taunggyi, trained as a nurse in Rangoon, and returned to Taunggyi to work as a matron.

During WWII in 1942 she was still there when the Japanese army destroyed the town. Apart from working round the clock in appalling conditions she was able to carry out other unrelated tasks like defusing bombs, carrying wounded solders on her back to safety. She never abandoned her patients. She was captured, bayoneted, starved and tortured, but she never gave up and did survive to tell her story.
