Jenny Gusyk (Turkish: Güzik, 29 May 1897 – 2 January 1944), also known as Jenny Stucke, was the first woman and foreign student when enrolled at the newly-re-established University of Cologne in 1919.[1][2] A Jewish woman of Turkish citizenship, she received German citizenship after her marriage, and was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp.[1][3] In 2009, the University of Cologne announced a gender equality award named after her.[1]
