Austrian-born Fanny Dittner (1868–1931) spent over 30 years in Lviv. From 1902 she owned a private six-year secondary school for girls with German as the language of instruction. In the school, originally meant for the daughters of Austrian officers, among the students were also quite a lot of Jewish girls. Due to a relatively low level of teaching and poor working conditions the school had a problem obtaining the status of a public school. Yet Fanny Dittner achieved a “renown” mostly as a central figure in a well-known trial. During the First World War, following the withdrawal of the Russians from Lviv, she denounced several dozen people to the Austrian authorities, as allegedly collaborating with the enemy. Among them were a lot of well-known public figures. In 1923 she was brought for trial, as a result of which she was sentenced and three years later deported from Poland.
