Catherine Schneider

Ekaterina Adolʹfovna Shneyder; 20 January 1856 – 4 September 1918) was a Baltic German tutor at the court of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra.

Schneider and Hendrikova were canonized as martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in 1981,[2] in spite of the fact she was a Lutheran.

Schneider, nicknamed "Trina," was born in Saint Petersburg to a Baltic German[3] family and was the niece of the former imperial physician Dr. Hirsch.

In September 1918 the elderly Schneider and the thirty-one-year-old Hendrikova were driven to a forest outside Perm, told to march forward, and were killed with a rifle butt.

[6] The bodies of Hendrikova and Schneider were recovered by the Whites in May 1919, though the whereabouts of their final resting place remains a mystery.
