Princess Maria Karoline born on 10 January 1899 inPula,Austria-Hungary (modern dayCroatia), a popular vacation site for theAustro-Hungarian imperial and royal family. She was the second daughter ofPrince August Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha andArchduchess Karoline Marie of Austria. She was a great-granddaughter ofPedro II of Brazil and a fourth cousin ofGeorge VI of the United Kingdom. Her family formed what was known as theBrazilian line of theHouse of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry.[3]

After the collapse of theAustro-Hungarian andGerman Empires, the family was able to retain some of their wealth thanks to theKoháry estates. They resided throughout Hungary and inSchladming, Austria.[4]

Hartheim

[edit]

Maria Karoline had learning difficulties. In 1938, her family placed her in a religious institution.[5] In 1941, she was forcibly removed from the institution by the Nazis and taken to thekilling centre atHartheim Castle where she was killed as part of theAktion T4 program.[6][7]

There are questions about whether her relatives, including her brotherPrince Rainer of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and head of the family,Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, did anything to protect her.[8]

Her ashes were returned to her family and interred in the crypt ofSt Augustine's Church inCoburg.[9]
