The extraordinary Lotte Weiss was one of the first Jewish prisoners of Auschwitz. In March 1942, at the age of 18, she was forcibly transported by cattle wagon to Auschwitz, along with her two older sisters.
Her number 2065 – indelibly embedded on her left arm by the tattooist of Auschwitz, Lale Sokolov – bore a lasting testament to her early internment at Auschwitz.
