My New Book - 999

For fans of Rena's Promise, this book is a kind of sequel that tells the story of many girls on the first transport, some of them you already know, many you have never met before. There are 6 survivors of the first transport still alive today (Feb 2020). I have interviewed four and am about to meet two more, those stories will be shared in an upcoming documentary: 999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz.

Block Ten in Auschwitz - Rena's Promise

The first Jewish women in Auschwitz were lodged in Block Ten in the men's camp. Thanks to the research department at the museum we were able to go into the actual block where the girls stayed (it is closed to the public). Their first day in camp was spent scrubbing and cleaning the blocks in preparation for the next transport of women (from Bratislava). The transport that would hold Rena's sister, Danka.

79th Anniversary of the First Jewish Transport to Auschwitz

March 25, 1942, 999 teenage girls and young women boarded a train. They thought they were going to work in a shoe factory. Instead, they were deported to Auschwitz as slave labor. Only a few survived over three years in the death camps, but those who did were childhood friends, cousins, and sisters--they helped each other, as they could. Their stories are told in the book and a forthcoming documentary film: 999 - The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz.

70th Anniversary: The First Women in Auschwitz moved to Birkenau - Rena's Promise

On August 6, 1942, a start was made to move female prisoners out of the main camp (Auschwitz I) to Birkenau. Though the records of the numbers of women in Auschwitz at that time, have been lost; we do know that new transports were numbering women at 15,000+ (men, of which there were a great more, were being numbered in the 50,000+ range). One of the few women to survive from the first registered transport of Jews (all young women) tells us of that day in her memoir RENA'S PROMISE: "Wait! We've turned. We are moving away from Auschwitz.[1] Voices murmur through our ranks. We march. This is a change to our routine. The unknown is dangerous. Eyes vigilant, senses alert, we march away from Auschwitz, away from the walls and watchtowers. The sun sets. There are fences and more barbed wire towering before us. We march under a different gate with the same sign, ARBEIT MACHT FREI. We are not fooled... They have moved with us to this new camp... The floor is dirt. There are no bunk beds here; there are shelves, wood planks, three tiers high. We are supposed to sleep here? Where are the mattresses? Our beds look like horse stalls. There is a sour smell of human odor. There are rags for blankets. We stand, squeezing our bread in our hands, unable to cope, unable to move. A girl begins to cry. Like fire in a stable her fear grabs us, and like dried straw we burn inside. Tears cannot quench these flames of disaster. We are lost. This is Birkenau" (Gelissen #1716, Rena's Promise). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] "August 5-10 [1942] .... The women's section at Auschwitz I is moved to Section B- Birkenau" (Rittner and Roth, 29 ). "Birkenau was a swamp fenced off by electrified wire. No roads whatsoever, no paths in between the blocks.... March to mid-August 1942 ... about 17,000 women prisoners, most of them Jews, arrived at Auschwitz. A large number of them (probably about 5,000) perished before the transfer of women to the camp at Birkenau" (Strzelecka, 401, 394).

999 -Les dones extraordinàries joves del primer transport oficial jueu a Auschwitz

El 25 de març de 1942, prop de mil dones jueves solteres i no casades van pujar a un tren a Poprad, Eslovàquia. Omplert de sensació d’aventura i orgull nacional, van marxar de casa dels seus pares amb la seva millor roba i confiant despedint-se. Creient que anaven a treballar a una fàbrica durant uns mesos, estaven desitjosos de presentar informació per al govern. En lloc d'això, les dones joves, moltes d'elles adolescents, van ser enviades a Auschwitz. El seu govern va pagar 500 marcs Reich (uns 200 dòlars) per als nazis perquè els prenguessin com a treball esclau. D’aquests 999 deportats innocents, només alguns sobreviurien. El llibre amb el mateix títol ara està en català, així com altres 13 idiomes.

999 - Las extraordinarias mujeres jóvenes del primer transporte oficial judío a Auschwitz

El 25 de marzo de 1942, casi mil jóvenes judías solteras abordaron un tren en Poprad, Eslovaquia. Llenos de una sensación de aventura y orgullo nacional, salieron de las casas de sus padres vistiendo sus mejores ropas y diciendo adiós con confianza. Creyendo que iban a trabajar en una fábrica durante unos meses, estaban ansiosos por presentarse al servicio del gobierno. En cambio, las jóvenes, muchas de ellas adolescentes, fueron enviadas a Auschwitz. Su gobierno pagó 500 Reich Marks (alrededor de $ 200) cada uno para que los nazis los tomaran como mano de obra esclava. De esos 999 deportados inocentes, solo unos pocos sobrevivirían.

Gentile Holocaust Survivor - Zofia Posmysz

In 1942, a local Oswiecim woman was arrested for handing out pamplets against the Nazis. She is a gentile and her arrest forced her into hard labor in her hometown, the death camp Auschwitz. She survived three years in the camp, fortunately getting work as an accountant for the kitchen. One of the Polish political prisoners gifted her a cross, which had behind the gold crown of thorns "Oswiecim;" he was executed the next day. She carried the cross through the rest of her incarceration and survived the death march to Ravensbruck and the concentration camp, Neustadt Glewe. Zofia and Rena (#1716) were in the same camps and while they do not remember knowing each other, they were elbows apart, and despite surviving the worst genocide and death camp in human history these women carry the same message of love to all of humanity.

70th Anniversary of Liberation After 3 Years in Nazi Death Camps

On May 2, 1942, Rena Kornreich and her sister Danka were liberated by the 82nd Airborne. After three years and 41 days in the Nazi death camps, Rena thought the American soldiers looked like angels and indeed they were angels. The 82nd Airborne was made up of brave men and among the first divisions to paratroop into occupied France. They fought a record “33 days of bloody combat” after allied forces invaded the coast of Normandy on D-Day. It would take ten months for them to reach the interior of Germany, but on May 2, 1945, they liberated two concentration camps: Wöbbelin and Neüstadt Glewe. Rena Kornreich was in the latter. Wöbbelin was an appalling sight with a mound of one-thousand men who had died of starvation. Disgusted, the officers ordered the townspeople of Ludwigslust to walk through the camp and see the horror. Then they forced them to bury the dead. General Dwight D. Eisenhower had mandated "all atrocity victims to be buried in a public place." In accordance with that policy, the 82nd Airborne made sure that crosses honored Christian graves and the Stars of David honored Jewish graves. For those committed to believing the Holocaust never happened remember that you negate the experience and reports of our own troops. Always Believe. Never Forget. Rena's best-selling memoir is Rena's Promise: http://www.amazon.com/Renas-Promise-Story-Sisters-Auschwitz/dp/0807093130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430567518&sr=8-1&keywords=rena%27s+promise

On March 26, 1942, 998 mostly young women and teenage girls arrived in the Auschwitz death camp on what would be recorded as the first Jewish transport. Surviving over 3 years in camps, Rena Kornreich Gelissen is one of the few survivors from that first transport and her story--a story of love, courage and sometimes miracles, will inspire your own life. This is a brief excerpt of an interview with Rena from 1995, where she speaks about the first transport.

Looking for a War Hero's Grave - 2015

Andrzej Garbera was only 20 years old when the German army invaded Poland and like most young men he defended his country. After appeasement he continued to defend his countrymen by smuggling Poles over the border of Slovakia. He also smuggled one Jew--Rena Kornreich, who he loved with all his heart. He had asked Rena to marry him, and used to send love letters to Rena that his sister (Karoline) delivered to Rena in the marketplace. When an SS man got drunk one night and tried to find Rena to rape her, Rena's family needed to sneak her across the border to stay with family in Slovakia where they hoped she would be safer. Andrzej saved many lives before he was 22 years old, including Rena's. Andrzej's full story is written about in the memoir "Rena's Promise: A Story of Sisters in Auschwitz." I wanted to pay my respects to him, but finding him wasn't easy.

@70th Anniversary Liberation of Auschwitz - from Poland

We arrived under a tent so large that it encompassed the front gate of Birkenau and could hold over two thousand people. The scale was monstrous as is the facade of the death gate, and I entered past the last security check feeling like I was stepping onto a movie set. That horrendous gate that chills our hearts to the bone, looked too perfectly lit, too commanding. I heard that two survivors passed out the moment they entered the tent. (I’m surprised more didn’t. Rena collapsed the moment she stepped out of the cab when she came back to Birkenau in 1992. “Get me out of here,” she told her husband. “Take me home.” They left Poland the next day and she never returned.) I have returned in her stead, twice now: on the 70th Anniversary of the 1st Jewish Transport to Auschwitz and today on the 70th Anniversary of Liberation...

SS Staff Quarters at Auschwitz

The women on the First Mass Transport to Auschwitz have been in the death camp for 763 days. For those who have survived this long it is only due to getting into a work detail that is not outside and has moved them to another part of the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex. For Rena #1716, Dina #1717, and Danka #2779 that meant working in the SS laundry. Today the SS laundry is in the bottom of a school house, which is just across the street from the Auschwitz Museum in Oświęcim, Poland. We were allowed to go in while classes were in session with the Head of Research at the Panastowe Muzeum of Auschwitz, Dr. Piotr Setkiewicz.
