School friend of Jerzy Pfefer's younger sister. During the First Action she was taken to the Umschladgplatz. She and her friend asked there a SS-man to release them but he fired a shot in their direction. She pretended to be dead so she was put in the collective box together with dead bodies. Outside the Umschlagplatz workers got her out of hearse and carried her to a flat. She spent two months in a hospital, she had an operation and eventually she had a paralyzed right arm. She lost her family during the action, except for her husband and brother-in-law with whom she crossed to the 'Aryan side'.
