Jane Haining was the matron of the Scottish Mission School in the Hungarian capital during the Second World War. Miss Haining refused to return to Scotland during the war and decided to stay with the Jewish girls in her care. The artwork was unveiled at a special event to honour Miss Haining in Paisley and to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on Tuesday. It is to be painted on a wall at Brown’s Lane and Shuttle Street, thoroughfares that Miss Haining used on her way to and from work. The artwork was commissioned by the Renfrewshire branch of Unison and the mural was designed by Paisley-based artists Alexander Guy and Caroline Gormley.
