IRENE HARAND (1900-1975) was an Austrian leader, born a Catholic in Vienna, who vigorously attacked the evils of Nazism, anti-Semitism, and religious intolerance and was honored by Israel for her efforts. The 1935 publication of Sein Kampf turned Harand into a declared enemy of the Third Reich. The book was banned by the Nazis that year. When Nazi Germany invaded Austria in 1938, Harand was lecturing in London. Her absence from Vienna saved her life. She emigrated to the United States soon after and lived there till she died in New York in 1975.
