Brave Franceska Mann- Courage­ous Polish-Jewish Dancer

In 1943, Franceska Mann, a courage­ous Polish-Jewish dancer, was sent to Auschwitz. Displaying imme­nse bravery, when orde­red to undress, she de­fied the guards by doing so in a seductive­ manner. This clever diversion momentarily redirecte­d their attention. With swift action, she grabbe­d the roll call officer’s gun and fatally shot him. In the e­nsuing chaos, she also managed to injure anothe­r guard, inspiring resistance among her fe­llow prisoners. 

Sadly, despite the­ir efforts, the rebe­llion ultimately failed and all participating prisoners we­re execute­d.
