Jewish Holocaust survivor, Lusia Haberfeld, was born in Lodz, Poland in 1931. During World War II, she survived the Warsaw Ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau II death camp, Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Majdanek concentration camp. Lusia’s testimony showcases various instances of girls’ resistance and survival during the Holocaust.
“While I was working in the camp, how this uprising came all about was there was a young woman working whose name was Roza Robota. And this Roza Robota, with three other girls, were smuggling dynamite to the men. That’s how the uprising came all about. These girls were – it was a whole operation. They were taking the dynamite from Jewish women who were working in an ammunition factory. And it took them maybe 12 months. Little by little, they smuggled the powder, the dynamite, to the men. Powder by powder, you know? It took them a long time. In the hems of their frocks.”
March is Women’s History Month in the United States.
