Malka Zauerman was born in Oświęcim, Poland, in 1935. She was Jewish, the daughter of Mozes and Roza (née Vulkan) Zauerman. Malka was just four years old when the Second World War started and Poland was invaded. Soon after the Nazis arrived, Malka was sent away from her home and forced to live in the Sosnowiec ghetto. Conditions in the ghetto were horrible. On August 1, 1943, a revolt broke out in the Sosnowiec ghetto. As a result, the Nazis liquidated the ghetto and murdered nearly all of the residents. Tragically, Malka was among those murdered. She was sent to Auschwitz and killed in the gas chambers at age eight. May her memory be a blessing.
