Dorothy F. Buxton was an English humanitarian and social activist . From World War I on she set herself to translate and publish extracts from the foreign press,in order to bring before English readers evidence of the fellow humanity of ‘the enemy’ and, in particular, evidence of the opposition to German chauvinism and militaristic imperialism within Germany. During the 1930s she collected and circulated reports on Nazi concentration camps that she had received from the refugees she was aiding. Before and during the second World War she brought to public Nazi atrocities and was in contact with Bekennende Kirche—the underground protestant anti-Nazi Christians in Germany -- (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography)
