Princess Catherine Duleep Singh, an Indian royal of the 19th-century Duleep Singh family, openly lived in a same-sex relationship in early 20th-century Germany. She used her privilege, resources and courage to help Jewish families flee Nazism. This act, during a time of extreme persecution, is seen as a remarkable act of bravery and solidarity. Her actions highlight the complex intertwining of personal identity and political responsibility during the rise of fascism.
