My immediate family ended up in Sobibor and escaped in the uprising. However, some family members did end up in Auschwitz. My grand-aunt, who never talked to people about her experiences, was not only a victim of Mengele's experiments (she has no fingertips and massive scars on her legs from induced infections to test early anti-biotics that would be given to the soldiers), but also a worker.

Either before or after the time of her experiments, she was made to work sowing uniforms for the military. When women would get sick, they were usually killed. My grand-aunt, in trying to save as many as she could, would not only take their work, but also would share her rations. I assume that there were other people along with her who would do the same, if they were able. We only found this out because the people she helped told us. She never said a word.

Edit: Finished a sentence.
