Liddy Bacroff (19 August 1908, Ludwigshafen - 6 January 1943, Mauthausen concentration camp) was a trans woman and sex worker of the Weimar Republic era, persecuted and killed by the Nazi regime during WW2.

I highly recommend Dr. Bodie Ashton's lecture in the video above for information on her life in an English language source.
