   Roza Robota was a Polish Jew who was an underground activist in the   
   Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. She was a member of the Birkenau   
   Sonderkommando. In 1944, this group planned an uprising in the women’s   
   camp at Auschwitz. The plan was to blow up one of the crematoria which   
   it was hoped would lead to a general uprising in the camp.   
   Using dynamite that had been smuggled in stick by stick by girls who   
   worked in the ammunition factory, they managed to blow up Krema IV   
   (Crematorium 4) on October the 7th, 1944.   
      
   Ala Gertner, was a 32 year old married woman, who also became part of   
   the resistance movement in the camp and recruited Estera Wajcblum and   
   Regina Safirsztajn because they had access to explosives. They passed   
   whatever they could steal to Ala, who transferred it to Roza, who in   
   turn, gave it to other members of the Sonderkommando in preparation for   
   the operation.   
      
   Roza and her 3 comrades, Ala, Regina Saperstein and Estera Wajcblum were   
   arrested, interrogated and condemned for the theft of the explosives.   
   All 4 went to the gallows on January 6th, 1945. They were led out and   
   made to stand on folding chairs placed under the beam. Once they had   
   been noosed and their death sentences read out to the assembled inmates,   
   the chairs were taken away and they were left suspended. Roza's last   
   word prior to her execution was, "Nekama!" Revenge! She enjoined the   
   other inmates to "Be strong, have courage".
