Emilie Schenkl
Emilie Schenkl (26 December 1910 – March 1996), was the wife, or companion, of Subhas Chandra Bose—a major leader of Indian nationalism—and the mother of their daughter, Anita Bose Pfaff. Since Bose was unable to bring his family to India in the midst of wartime Europe, he left Schenkl, an Austrian, with a note addressed to his elder brother Sarat Bose confirming the identity of his wife and and their baby daughter and asking for them to be accepted into their family, should he himself were to perish in the war. Bose then moved from Germany to southeast Asia in February 1943, and subsequently died at the end of the war. After the war, Emilie and their daughter were met by Bose's brother Sarat Chandra Bose and his family in Vienna in 1948, and welcomed into the Bose family in an emotional meeting.
