  • One of the Warsaw ghetto fighters. She belonged to Benjamin Wald's group. At the end of the uprising she left the ghetto through a sewer in Ogrodowa Street. Young, inteligent, sensitive. In a hideout in Rembertow she could spent whole days on writing the word 'shit' with a pencil on the table. On her way home she lost all sense of direction and she asked a Polish man for help. He noticed that she was Jewish and called a German. She started running, but was shot in her stomach and lost consciousness. The German, who thought she was dead, left her lying on the street. Injured, she went to the railway station in Rembertow. A drunkard latched on her. On the train to Warsaw nobody helped her and nobody denounced her. She went to her friend's, Hela Balicka, family. Hela's father took her to hospital where she was operated on.
