Also see . . . Lilly Karmann (Gedenkstätte Plotzensee, in German). Excerpt (in translation):

Lilly Karmann was born into a family of artists. Her mother, Sophie, who was declared dead in 1907, was of Jewish descent. A clerk by profession, Lilly Karmann had lived in Bremen since 1921, where she worked in an arts and crafts shop.

After being denounced, she was arrested on September 16, 1943. She was accused of having declared in a conversation with a customer that the war was lost and that men would be forced to rebuild Russia.

The First Senate of the "People's Court" sentenced Lilly Karmann to death on December 9, 1943. Following the verdict, she was taken to the Barnimstrasse women's prison, where she applied for clemency. This appeal was rejected by the Reich Ministry of Justice on January 14, 1944.

Lilly Karmann was murdered in Berlin-Plötzensee Prison on January 27, 1944.
