The only nun ever to be formally charged, tried and killed by the Nazi

[DameAgnes]

Her crime? Something so simple. I pray if I am ever in this position I am as strong as she.

I had always thought that St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross was also killed by the Nazis

The article states that Sister Restituta was the only nun specifically put on trial. Many clergy and nuns were rounded up and sent to concentration camps but they hadn't been through a trial. 

St Teresa Benedicta was sent to the camps for being Jewish; not the case with this sister.

Yes, many priest and sisters were sent to concentration camp. To the point that the camp of Dachau is said to be the biggest priest's cimetery in the world...
