In 1935, Regina Jonas became the very first woman ever to become a rabbi, only to be murdered by the Nazis in Auschwitz in 1942. During her brief life she inspired a new kind of progressive female participation in the Jewish faith. Since her death, she has remained a legend, but not very much was known about her life and work until now.
