Róża Berger born Reizel Leser (20 June 1889 – 11 August 1945)[1] was the only victim of the 1945 Kraków pogrom.[2] She was born in Kraków and married Józef (Josef) Berger on 17 September 1911 in Kraków under the Austrian partition. During World War II she escaped imprisonment in the Kraków Ghetto; however, she was rounded up in August 1944 with her daughter and granddaughter and deported to Auschwitz concentration camp (prisoner number 89186).[3] After the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army she returned to Kraków,[4][5] where she was shot by security forces and killed while standing behind closed doors at her home during the anti-Jewish disturbance of 11 August 1945.[2][6] She was buried in the New Jewish Cemetery at 55 Miodowa street in Kraków.[7]
