On this day, 12 March 1912, Polish Jewish resistance activist Ala Gertner was born. While a slave labourer at a munitions factory under Nazi occupation, Gertner stole gunpowder which she smuggled to prisoners at Auschwitz Birkenau to build bombs which they used to blow up Crematorium IV and kill several SS officers. Gertner and three other women were executed for their role in the uprising in 1945. This is a great article about the resistance at Auschwitz: https://ift.tt/2tGl2Mb https://ift.tt/2HfBmJI
