Freya von Moltke

Freya von Moltke (March 29, 1911 – January 1, 2010) was a participant in the anti-Nazi resistance group, the Kreisau Circle, with her husband, Helmuth James Graf von Moltke.

In 1956, unable to further tolerate Apartheid, she returned to Berlin where she commenced her work in publicizing the Kreisau Circle.

The couple resided initially in a modest house at the von Moltke Kreisau estate, in Silesia (German: Schlesien), then in Germany but now part of Poland.

She supported the founding of a center for international understanding at the former von Moltke estate in Krzyżowa (former Kreisau) in Poland.
