Alma, Gisella, and Mala in Auschwitz: Three Jewish Women’s Audacious Acts of Resistance
Eighty years after the Nazis withdrew from Auschwitz, we recall the experiences of three Jewish women whose confrontations with the Lager reveal its sadistically antisemitic purpose. Each woman found herself filling an unusual role that gave her special opportunities to help protect her fellow inmates, though at terrible costs. The accounts we will examine—and the ways they have been told, retold, and debated—include moments that inspire, shock, or surprise. They challenge us to bear witness with clear eyes, and they serve as proof that even in Auschwitz, some Jews found ways to act selflessly and to fight back against the Nazi evil.
