Louisa Gould

Louisa Mary Gould (née Le Druillenec, 7 October 1891 – 13 February 1945) was a Jersey shopkeeper and a member of the resistance in the Channel Islands during World War II. From 1942 until her arrest in 1944, Gould sheltered an escaped Soviet forced labourer known as Fyodor Polycarpovich Buriy on the island of Jersey. Following a trial, she was sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp where she was killed in 1945.

Gould was posthumously named a British Hero of the Holocaust in 2010.
