About Elsie Maude Tilney
- Elsie Maude Tilney (1893 – 1994) served as a missionary in the 1920s—1930s in North Africa, France and Austria. In Vienna, in 1939, she first became a witness to the persecution of the Jews, and when she was about to return to Paris, she took with her a 1-year-old Jewish infant, Ruth Buchholz. Elsie brought Ruth to a children’s home near Paris, where she stayed for the rest of the war and where her parents finally found her after the liberation of Paris.
