To Vanquish The Dragon / Memoirs of a Beth Jacob Teachers' Seminary student from Kraków who, during the German occupation of Poland, went through several ghettos and camps. She survived between 1939-43 by moving repeatedly from the Kraków ghetto to the town of Slomniki and back again. In the spring of 1943 she registered voluntarily for the forced labor camp at Prokocim, and thus managed to evade the gradual liquidation of both communities. From Prokocim she was transferred to the Płaszów camp, from there to the Tarnow ghetto, then again to Płaszów, in 1944 to Auschwitz, and in January 1945 to Bergen-Belsen. Shows that religious Jews and religious institutions were dealt with by the Nazis with special savagery and spite.
