Sister, sister

Anna Blay
The accounts of two sisters, Helena (Hela) Rosner (b. 1924) and Joanna (Janka) Gross (1914-1994), who were born in Krakow. Their stories were recorded by the author, Hela's daughter, interspersed with her own responses. Hela and Janka were interned in the Krakow ghetto, the Plaszow camp, and, finally, Auschwitz. Hela's musician husband, Poldek, gained a place on Schindler's list, along with other family members. Emphasizes their experience as women, both emotionally and physically. Having been parted in Auschwitz, the sisters were reunited at Schindler's factory in Czechoslovakia. After the liberation they moved to Munich, where an impoverished Schindler lived with them. The sisters then moved to Paris, and later to Australia. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
