A journalist, Auerbach, survived World War II in hiding outside the ghetto in Warsaw, and was part of a Jewish research team that visited the Nazi death camp in Treblinka in 1945. Her report, Oyf di felder fun Treblinke (In the fields of Treblinka), combines a journalistic account of her discoveries with a literary reaction to the horrors of the Holocaust and is one of the earliest examples of Holocaust literature.

Originally recorded by the Jewish Public Library, Montreal.
