   Masha Bruskina was a Russian teenage female partisan. She was a 17 year   
   old Jewish high school graduate and was the first teenage girl to be   
   publicly hanged by the Nazis in Belorussia (Byelarus), since the German   
   invasion of Soviet Union on the 22nd of June 1941. Her execution and   
   that of the two men hanged with her took place on the 26th of October   
   1941 in the city of Minsk. In the photos of her, you will see that she   
   has blond hair, but her natural colour was dark. She dyed her hair when   
   she started to work for the underground. Witnesses to her  hanging,   
   testified that Masha struggled hard and lost control of her bladder and   
   bowels. After hanging for 3 days, she and the men were taken down and   
   only when her body was traditionally washed before her burial by local   
   people and members of her family, did her dark hair show up. She worked   
   as a nurse in a military hospital and was a member of an underground   
   cell which aided Soviet officers hospitalised there to escape and join   
   the partisans. The members of this cell were informed on and quickly   
   rounded up. Masha and two of her male comrades, Volodya Sherbateivich   
   and Krill Trous, were sentenced to death. They were led through the   
   streets with Masha wearing a large placard proclaiming that they were   
   partisans and hanged one at a time, Masha first, by the 707   
   Infanteriedivision, who meticulously filmed the proceedings.
