Margarete Blank (1901–1945) was a German medical doctor who was executed for defeatist speech in 1945. There are now several memorials to her including street names in Engelsdorf and Panitzsch; old people's homes in Prenzlau and Thekla, Leipzig; schools in Panitzsch and Torgau; and an annual prize for a work of medical history at the Leipzig Medical School.[1][2][3][4][5]
