From 1942 until 1945, Riss hid in her apartment Regina Heinrich, who was threatened with deportation as a Jew under Nazi Germany's Nuremberg Laws.[1]
She also hid two other Jews, Stefanie Zach (née Rosenstadt) and Otto Breichenstein, at various places, including her own home, to escape deportation. By doing so, Hermine Riss risked her own life.[1]
