The interview focuses on the interviewee's experience in concentration and transit camps. She was born in Zarki (Poland). Her family was taken to Maidanek, Pionki and Auschwitz. Her baby sister disappeared in Auschwitz, but her mother believed she was alive because she was taken by Dr. Mengele and his assistant, a Jewish Polish woman known as Dr. Pearl who after the war lived in New York. She discusses the gathering in the town ghetto, transport, humiliations, illness and mistreatment. They passed to Ravensbruck from December 1944 to Feb.1945 and later to Malchow transit camp. She recalls good actions from a man in Pionki and from a Wermacht soldier. She discusses routine in camps: staying in the yard, cold in barracks, beatings, struggle for food and water, gas chambers and smoke in crematories.
