Urr graduated in Medicine from the Eötvös Loránd University in 1929 among the first female doctors in Hungary. As a Swedish Red Cross doctor in World War II Budapest she saved many Jews from prosecution and murder by the Arrow Cross Party militias. She also hid Jews in her own home at a great risk to herself. Her sacrifices and good works were recognized by Yad Vashem, that included Ida Urr among the Righteous Among the Nations shortly before her death.
