Page history last edited by Jack Daniel 3 years ago

Juliana Mickwitz, born Juliane Charlotte Ernestine von Mickwitz (Юлиана Эрнестовна Миквиц)

Juliana Mickwitz

 

From the NSA Cryptologic Hall of Honor: https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/historical-figures-publications/hall-of-honor/Article/1621569/juliana-mickwitz/

"An innovative linguist who was a prime advocate of new ways of exploiting language materials and developed highly-valuable intelligence information at a time when the U.S. lacked other sources.

 

She was born Juliana Ernestine von Mickwitz in 1889 near Vyborg, Finland. A daughter of the Russian aristocracy, Juliana was tutored at home and learned to speak German, Russian, and English with almost equal fluency.

 

After the ascent of the Bolsheviks to power in 1919, Ms. Mickwitz escaped Soviet Russia to Poland. Eventually, she became a translator for an American attachè. She survived the Nazi attack and occupation of Poland in September 1939 and departed Warsaw with U.S. officials. She was one of the last to leave and kept the American flag flying even as German soldiers occupied buildings around her."
