Ester was born in Salonika and reached Auschwitz on March 23rd 1943. The inmate number 38850 was 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. She managed to save 14 women from death row by convincing Dr. Mengale that they were helping here bring cloths to women who passed the selection. Ester and her brother Jacob managed to reconnect. Jacob would get her cigarettes with which she would buy the hearts of the Capos and the Block Elderly. This way she managed to get 3 inmates out of Block 25 (the block from which women were rounded up for the crematorium), 3 hours before they were supposed to be murdered. She did all this while risking her own life. The first information about her actions was given by Prof. Gideon Greiff. Ester survived the Holocaust and made Aliya to Israel in 1949. The "Jewish Rescuer Award" was given to her family members during the 2016 Holocaust memorial ceremony in the Bnei Brith forest.
