Sibling: Helene RichterAbout this person
Elise Richter was an Austrian philologist, specialising in Romance studies, and university professor. She was the first woman to achieve the habilitation at the University of Vienna(which is equivalent to being accepted as a full badge member of the German-speaking research community), the first female associate professor and the only woman at any Austrian university before World War I to hold an academic appointment. Persecuted like all other members of her family, by Nazi officials during World War II, she was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in German-occupied Czechoslovakia in October 1942, and was murdered there, like her English PhD holder sister Helene. Elise was killed in June 1943, half a year after her sister.
