She lived together with her sister Edeltrud Becher who was engaged to a Jew. When two executives of the Gestapo showed up and asked for Edeltrud's fiancé, Charlotte denied any presence of the man who lived with his brothers in Prague at that time. When the brothers of Edeltrud's fiancé came from Prague to Vienna, Charlotte was able to convince an officer at the Vienna Police Department to destroy the file that incriminated Edeltrud's fiancé. Furthermore, Charlotte organized shelters in Vienna for the brothers.
