Louisa Gould’s Heroic Shelter of Soviet POW in Jersey, WWII 1942, Holocaust Hero

Uncover the profound courage of Louisa Gould with ShortFactWizard’s moving tribute to a WWII hero! In June 1942, in Nazi-occupied Jersey—the only British soil under Hitler’s grip, where 1,300 perished in labor camps by 1945—this 50-year-old St Ouen shopkeeper hid Feodor Buriy, a 23-year-old Soviet pilot who fled a brutal camp. Mourning her son Edward, lost on HMS Bonaventure in 1941, Gould sheltered ‘Bill’ for 18 months, teaching him English with a French accent to evade German patrols scouring the Channel Islands’ 46 square miles. Risking execution, she defied a radio ban, sharing BBC broadcasts with customers to bolster hope. A neighbor’s 1944 betrayal, sparked by a gift tag bearing Buriy’s name, led to her arrest after moving him to her sister Hilda’s care. Sentenced to two years, Gould faced Ravensbrück’s gas chamber in February 1945, mere weeks from liberation, one of 50,000 women killed there. Buriy survived, liberated in 1945, thanks to her sacrifice. Honored in 2010 as a British Hero of the Holocaust, her plaque at St Ouen’s church draws 2,000 visitors yearly, per Jersey Heritage. Did you know she baked bread to mask Buriy’s presence? Or that her radio defiance inspired a resistance network? WWII historians will cherish her stand against occupation, war buffs will admire her nerve under daily searches, and YouTube fans will feel 1942’s tension—Nazis at every corner. Packed with rare facts—like the gift tag betrayal and 1,300 camp deaths—this Short brings Jersey’s darkest hour alive. Subscribe to ShortFactWizard for more heroes—Dachau’s next!
