Stress test

Elizabeth Sajdel-Sulkowska was just three months old when Nazi soldiers set fire to her family’s home in the midst of the Warsaw Uprising of August 1944, as the Polish resistance attempted to seize control of the city from the Germans. When that revolt ultimately failed, the city was razed, and there was no time to grab diapers and milk as the family rushed from the burning building. Sajdel-Sulkowska’s parents were taken to Dulag 121, a transitional camp from which they were to be sent to a concentration camp.
