description: "Maria \"Mimi\" Terwiel was a German resistance fighter against the Nazi regime. She was active in a group in Berlin that wrote and distributed anti-Nazi and anti-war appeals. In September 1942, the Gestapo arrested Terwiel along with her fiancée Helmut Himpel, as part of what it conceived as a broader action against a collection of anti-fascist resistance groups in Germany and occupied Europe, identified by the Abwehr as the Red Orchestra. Among the leaflets and pamphlets Terwiel and Himpel had copied and distributed for the group were the July and August 1941 sermons of Clemens August Graf von Galen, which denounced the regime's Aktion T4 programme of involuntary euthanasia."
