On this day, 12 March 1912, Polish Jewish resistance activist Ala Gertner was born. While an enslaved labourer at a munitions factory under Nazi occupation, Gertner stole gunpowder which she smuggled to prisoners at Auschwitz Birkenau to build grenades. The resistance at the camp used these makeshift weapons, among others to destroy Crematorium IV and kill several SS officers. Gertner and three other women were executed for their role in the uprising in 1945.
