A newly unveiled marble headstone in Ipswich Old Cemetery in West England honors Kurt Erich Glauber, a British MI6 agent, who was Jewish and risked his life operating undercover in his native Austria during World War II. When the Nazis infiltrated his cell, he was sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp, where he died at age 42, two months before the end of the war.
Glauber’s nephew and great-niece, Antony and Jem Japhet, attended a Sept. 13 ceremony at the cemetery marking the new memorial. Visitors can scan a QR code on the stone to learn more about the life of the lawyer, who was born in Vienna in 1902.
