## Story

Dorothea Craciunescu or Dorothy Crane, grew up Romanian Transylvania, where she first studied medicine. She was a Romanian patriot and partisan who dedicated herself to the independence of her country. She fanned the flames of revolt with her comrades while she worked with the communist resistance. In 1916, with the repression of her people coming to a head and the slaughter of her loved ones she fled to England with her sister and her brother-in-law. Together, they embraced the life of exiles before ending up in Whitechapel. There, her medical background allowed her to find work as a nurse at Pembroke. Changing her name to Dorothy Crance she worked hard within the hospital walls, always doing all she could for the patients. But when the Spanish flue hit London, her activist instincts drove her to aid the less fortunate migrants in her home of Whitechapel. With the help of Darius Petrescu, an old friend and comrad from her time as an activist, she set up a dispensary not far from the church. In order to finance the illegal haven, she had to steal, bribed and blackmail the wealthy to get the money she needed.

Some time in 1918, Dorthy ended up black mailing Lady Ashbury as she noticed how patients visited by the 'sweet' Lady often wound up dead shortly after. This was working great at first, but because she kept demanding more and more money, Lady Ashbury had no choice but to ask Jonathan Reid to step in.

### Letter from her sister:

"London, 31st October

My dear Dorothea.
When you read this letter. I will be on the boat that will take Anton and me back to Brasov.
England was not for us. and I confess I cannot wait to see again the proud hills of
Transylvania. As soon as we are there. I promise I'll light a candle in the Black Church. and
pray for you to survive this terrible epidemic.
I know that you do not agree with this decision. and that you are determined to be more
useful by helping our comrades exiled in the East End. But Anton cannot wait to return to
our beloved country. and see our long-awaited revolution bloom... He is my husband. I
will stay by his side.
I know we had our arguments and our fights. I know you would have wanted me to stand
by your side. and help you manage this clinic of yours. but now that I'm leaving England.
be assured that if anything would happen to you. if you ever were in great trouble or
danger. I would come back immediately to London. with or without Anton.
Please think of me as much as I think of you.
I am your affectionate sister.
Theodora"
