She escaped being sent there when her parents were, because she was ill with diphtheria, and got sent to a care home for Jewish children who’s parents had been deported, aged 17 she was looking after 34 children in that home when all were taken to Auschwitz, on arrival she escaped death by listening to another prisoner who told her to ignore the crying child who’d travelled with her, all 34 children she was looking after died shortly after arrival.
