It would be the beginning of her six-year journey through several camps during the Second World War, from Terezin to the Czech family camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, to the forced labor in Hamburg, and Bergen Belsen. After the liberation by the British in April 1945, she finally returned to Prague, a survivor.Franci was known in her group as the Prague dress designer who lied to Dr. Mengele at an Auschwitz selection, saying she was an electrician, resulting in an assignment to do electrical work in Hamburg, an occupation that both endangered and saved her life.
