In 1945 she nursed a dying Anne Frank giving her water, food, and washing her face. She said she still saw the pale face even to the day she gave the report. And she still tells her story to others in hope of raising awareness to others and hopefully to forever stop hatred of people who are different.

When she walked in the chamber she had no idea what it actually was, but she was undressed and rushed in with a lot of others. The gas was no released but water started to ran on them and she thought that it was just a shower but when she was let out everyone around was cheering and she had no idea what was going on. Till they told her she “Cheated Death” when she walked out of a gas chamber, there were no words coming out of her mouth and she was speechless.
