Passenger in Cabin 45 [[Pasażerka z kabiny 45]
Author(s): Zofia Posmysz
Written by concentration camp survivor Zofia Posmysz, who was arrested in Poland in 1942 at age 16 and sent to Auschwitz for attending secret educational classes organized by the Polish underground. Because Posmysz was a Roman Catholic, she did not face the same fate as her Jewish inmates, but she did nonetheless suffer brutality at the hands of the Nazis and witness scenes of unimaginable horror. She wrote the radio play <em>Passenger from Cabin 45</em> in 1959 from the perspective of her Nazi prison guard, Anneliese Franz.
