"The love of Edek Galinski and Malka Zimetbaum became camp legend in Auschwitz ... They gave us hope." -- Camp survivor Renee Rendorf of Brussels
From MALA AND EDEK: TRAGIC CAMP LOVE Oś—Oświęcim, People, History, Culture magazine
The love story of two Auschwitz prisoners, Mala Zimetbaum, a Jew, and Edward Galiński, a Pole, along with their bold escape, makes up one of the most moving chapters in the history of the camp—and also one of the most tragic. It seemed as if love would win out and their effort to break free of the world of Auschwitz would succeed. Things turned out differently. They were caught and forced to return to the camp. They were executed 65 years ago, on September 15, 1944.
Legacy
From Mala - A Fragment of a Life by Lorenz Sichelschmidt
She was an ordinary person. Her way of life, her way through life, and ultimately her death, correspond to that of millions of European Jews during the Holocaust. Additionally she was an extraordinary individual. Her courage, dignity, and pride, her unique way of preserving human qualities in the face of terror within the barbed-wire fences of Auschwitz distinguish her from millions of her contemporaries.
Today Auschwitz survivors regularly gather to remember Mala, there is a plaque on the house her family lived in in Antwerp, a scholarship has been named in her honor, and a B'nai B'rith lodge has been named for her.
From Wikipedia
After World War II, little is known of the surviving members of the Zimetbaum Hartman family. Zimetbaum's siblings, Gitla, Marjem and Salomon Rubin, survived the Nazi Holocaust. It is also known that Gitla migrated to and died in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and that her direct descendants are all aware of Zimetbaum's legacy.
The official testimony of Mrs Raya Kagan,] delivered on June 8, 1961, during Session 70 in the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem.
"Q. What happened to her in the end? "A. Eventually they brought her to Birkenau, they held a major roll-call, and Mandel, the Schutzlagerfuehrerin (leader of the protective camp), Marie Mandel, made a speech and demanded a spectacular and exemplary punishment for her. Mala had succeeded in placing a razor blade in her sleeve and, at the time of the roll-call, she cut open her veins. The the SS man went up to her and began mocking and cursing her. Then, with a hand covered in blood, she slapped his cheek and - again, this may be a legend - she said to him: "I shall die as a heroine, and you will die like a dog." After that, she was taken, in this very terrible state, to the Revier, and in the evening she was put on a cart and taken to the crematorium."
