Daisy was born in Salonika. She reached Auschwitz on April 28th 1943 and had the inmate number 43166 tattooed on her arm. Because she was fluent in German, she became the translator for the Greek female inmates who didn’t understand the camp commanders' orders. In addition, she was placed in charge of Block 27 in Birkenu and got the nick name "Daisy the Block leader". These jobs enabled her to roam around freely, which she used in order to help many women in the camp. She acquired and secretly distributed food, replaced women in different work groups, hid sick women during selection and hid information about pregnancies and abortions. All this was done while Daisy was risking her own life. She saved at least four women from being selected to die. Those who shared her stories included Ivonne Razon, Bary Nachmias, Mary Nachman and Bella Yehuda. Daisy survived the Holocaust and made Aliya to Israel in 1949. The first information received about her actions was given by the Holocaust survivor: Ivonne Razon. The "Jewish Rescuer Award" was given to her family members during the 2016 Holocaust memorial ceremony in the Bnei Brith forest.
