She was deported to Auschwitz in September 1942. She spent two years there, where she worked as an interpreter. She always strived to help other inmates. She snuck photographs from inmates families to them. She was highly trusted amongst everybody. Edward Edek had planned on escaping, where Malka also wanted to escape so she could expose everything going on in Auschwitz. They went forward with their plan, and escaped. Soon after Edek was found trying to buy some bread with gold he stole from camp, and escorted back. Malka then turned herself in because they had promised to always be together.]]> 2023-05-24 18:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/whiteell2025/t7snwmnk2xde6bm6/wish/2603650849 lopezcru2025 https://padlet.com/whiteell2025/t7snwmnk2xde6bm6/wish/2603652472 2023-05-24 18:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/whiteell2025/t7snwmnk2xde6bm6/wish/2603652472 whiteell2025 https://padlet.com/whiteell2025/t7snwmnk2xde6bm6/wish/2603657091 At the young age of 24 malka got captured and sent to Austchwits, Mala was captured during one of the German efforts to hunt down Jews and was sent to Auschwitz on September 15.
