Helena "Lea" Nordheim (1 August 1903 – 2 July 1943) was a Dutch gymnast.[1] She won the gold medal as a member of the Dutch gymnastics team at the 1928 Summer Olympics in her native Amsterdam.[2] With her team, she was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1997.[3]
Nordheim was born in Amsterdam and was murdered in the Sobibor extermination camp.[4] As a Jew, she was sent to Westerbork concentration camp in June 1943. Shortly after, Nordheim was deported to Sobibór where she was murdered, together with her husband Abraham and their ten-year-old daughter Rebecca.[5][6]
