Act

Charlotte Becher was a prompter at the Deutsches Volkstheater in Vienna. She was living with her sister Edeltrud Becher , who was engaged to a Jew when two Gestapo people appeared and asked about Edeltrud's fiancé. When asked whether a non- Aryan would live in the same apartment with her, she denied any presence of Edeltrud's fiancé, who at the time was living with his brothers in Prague . When the brothers of her sister's fiancé came to Vienna from Prague, Charlotte had the files incriminating her sister's fiancé destroyed with the help of a Vienna police officer. In addition, Charlotte organized accommodation for the three brothers in Vienna, including in the apartment of her fiancé Friedrich Kuntz, who was aware from his vacation from military service in the Wehrmacht that Jews were living in his apartment.

After the war, Charlotte Becher married a man with the surname Fritz.

Most recently she was married to Ortwin Gamber and lived in Vienna, 9th district.
