She was the youngest of five children and shortly moved to Belgium after her birth. And records showed her being registered as working in the city of Antwerp. 

At a early age she joined Hanoar Hatzioni, which was a Jewish youth organization. She also got a job working as a seamstress to support her father who recently became blind. She also worked as a secretary fora small diamond trading company based in Antwerp. 

In this time she learned to be proficient in French, Flemish, English, German and Polish. This would become extremely helpful as in 1942 she was arrested when looking for a hiding place for her and her family. She was taken first to Fort Breendork, then to Mechelan five days later. Where she deported to Auschwitz-Birkenua. She was one of the 101 females that lived, the other 717 where considered unable to work and immediately gassed. Due to her ability to speak several languages, she was put into camp administration where she was used as an interpreter and messenger. 

She was described by fellow prisoners as being a decent, young lady who cared and had morals. She was stated as giving bread, cheese and carrots to those who did not have enough to eat. And always held people accountable for their health. Although she was treated as a normal prisoner, with some special permissions such as being given more food and being able to take showers. ]]> 2022-11-10 17:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2378984434 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2378988992 Although there isn't a lot of information on. We do know Eden was born on October 5th, 1923 and was taken to Auschwitz as a polish political prisoner on June 14th, 1940 in the first transport of Polish prisoners from Tarnow prison. And had the number of 531

He was Malka's lover as they met at Auschwitz, not a lot other than this is known about him. ]]> 2022-11-10 17:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2378988992 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379263201 2022-11-10 20:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379263201 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379271428 A Polish complex of 40+ concentration and extermination camps]]> 2022-11-10 20:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379271428 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379275148 2022-11-10 20:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379275148 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379275902 Eden started forming a close bond with Malka, which caused him to realize that at one point or another they will share the same fate as all the jews, no matter how well they treated Malka. And at the time Malka started to get worse off with Malaria and other diseases. So Eden managed to get his hands on a SS uniform, SS identification card and planned to march Malka out disguised as a male prisoner while he wore the SS uniform. ]]> 2022-11-10 20:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379275902 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379288818 Eden and Malka were tucked away waiting for Weislar's command to proceed forward. Once they received that command Eden and Malka marched forward. Eden followed SS regulations and marched in a slow pace passing a SS soldier. All it looked like from Weislar is a SS soldier escorting a prisoner. But as soon as they got out of the camp they went 200-300 yards forward and escaped. ]]> 2022-11-10 21:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379288818 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379298052 At roll call the SS noticed two prisoners were missing and they started up the sirens. Once they realize it was two old prisoner at the camp the first commander of the camp said it wasn't worth searching for them. 

Although on July 6th, 1944 the Bielitz Gestapo captured Malka and Eden. Where then they were sent back to the camp, trapped in a bunker and interrogated and tortured. They stopped treating Malka with privilege to, beating her and treating her like a regular prisoner. Eventually they were sentenced to hang, although Eden stated that neither him or Malka would present themselves alive to the executioner. ]]> 2022-11-10 21:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379298052 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379299774 2022-11-10 21:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379299774 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379300366 2022-11-10 21:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379300366 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379307374 Both Edek's and Malka's execution was on the 15th of September, 1944. Edek, as a sign of bravery immediately went onto the stool. And when the SS officer in charge of the execution read out the sentence Edek slipped his head into the noose and kicked away at the stool. Although the noose was not tied tightly and SS officer's managed to bring him back up. So he waited throughout the SS officer's speech and said "Long live Poland" before the stool was pulled from underneath him and he hung. 

Malka's execution was a lot different, she was brought to the gallows where she proceeded to draw a razor and slit her wrists. To where she was then struck by the SS officer reading the sentence and broke her hand, where she famously said "I shall die a herione, but you will die a dog!" She was then brought to the crematorium, where she is speculated to of died on the way there from blood loss.]]> 2022-11-10 21:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379307374 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379310658 Malka's charming personality and her indomitable spirit brought hope to lots of prisoners. She was remember as a savior and hero throughout Auschwitz and a legend there. And her execution and will to not be taken by the executioner was a sign of strength that served as a martyr. ]]> 2022-11-10 21:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2379310658 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2383223739 2022-11-14 16:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2383223739 benrad07 https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2383231938 Mala's famous quote she shouted at a SS guard when he broke her hand.]]> 2022-11-14 16:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/benrad07/vtz5a0odv4u1izb3/wish/2383231938
