Margot Wölk
Margot Wölk was a German woman who, during World War II, served as a food taster for Adolf Hitler, part of a group of women tasked with sampling his meals to guard against poison. Wölk's harrowing story, which she shared in her later years, highlights the extreme measures taken during the war and the psychological toll of living under such intense paranoia. She was the last surviving member of her group and inspired the novel 'Le assaggiatrici' by Rosella Postorino, which was later adapted into a film.
Born on Mar 10, 1917 (108 years old)
