It is a PDF document describing the life of "Rachel (Rachelka) Grynglas Grynfeld", with the same birthdate as the information found by the previous researcher in the "IDENTITY" section.

Here is some summarized information:

There is much information in this 3 page biography, including family and school history. She went to school in a ghetto in Marysin Poland. She graduated in 1941. Rachelka worked in a range of workshops (from carpet-making to metal).

During what is called the "Gesperre" aktion in September 1942, she and her family hid and all survived.

In 1944, Rachelka and her family were deported to Auschwitz Birkenau, where she was consequently separated from them.

She worked at the Halbstadt labor camp until liberation in 1944.

She then returned to Lodz and found that only her cousin survived.

Rachelka has since married and had two children, and since this document was written, resided in Israel.
