Rachel Zipora Dror (née Lewin; Hebrew: רחל ציפורה דרור; 19 January 1921)[1] is a German Jewish teacher and Holocaust survivor. After returning from Israel to live in Germany (for health reasons) in 1957, and more intensively since her retirement from teaching in 1986, she has come to wider prominence because of her engagement for Christian-Jewish-Islamic co-existence, and as an advocate for religious openness and mutual tolerance.[2][3] She turned 100 on 19 January 2021.[4]
