My grandmother survived the Holocaust in the most badass way and this is that story.

我的祖母在大屠殺中頑強地活了下來，這就是她的故事。

She was a teenager when the Nazis started to invade Poland.

進階被動語態

This one older guy had the hots for my grandmother and he wanted this special suit to be made. This guy who needed a suit was well off. His name was Leon.

有一個年長的人看上了我的祖母，他想做一套特別的西服。這個需要西裝的人很有錢。他叫萊昂

So she suggested that he go to her father who was a tailor.

於是，她建議他去找她做裁縫的父親。

He asked my great-grandfather, the tailor, to make him a suit with special pockets so he could hide jewelry and money.

他讓我的曾祖父，也就是裁縫，給他做了一套有特殊口袋的西裝，這樣他就可以藏珠寶和錢了。

My grandmother was pretty popular at the time so she kind of strung him along a bit.

我外婆當時很受歡迎，所以她有點慫恿他。

She always said that she had noticed that he had really big hands and really nice teeth.

她總是說，她注意到他有一雙非常大的手和一口非常漂亮的牙齒。

Apparently this guy was kind of a ladies man. We're not really sure who pursued who.

顯然，這傢伙很有女人緣。我們並不確定是誰追求了誰。

Sometime after September 1939, her family and friends were forced into a work camp in Poland.

1939 年 9 月之後的某個時候，她的家人和朋友被迫進入波蘭的一個勞改營。

Despite the harsh conditions, her relationship with Leon continued to grow.

儘管條件艱苦，但她與萊昂的關係仍在繼續發展。

In late 1943, everyone was moved to a different camp, specifically Majałka.

1943 年底，所有人都被轉移到另一個營地，特別是馬亞烏卡。

One day, the German officers gave shovels to my grandmother, her friends, family, and 300 other people so they could start digging their graves. The plan was to shoot them all so they would fall into the graves that they dug.

有一天，德國軍官給我的祖母、她的朋友、家人和其他 300 人發了鏟子，讓他們開始挖墳墓。他們的計劃是向他們開槍，讓他們都掉進自己挖的墳墓裡。

My grandmother was not having it. She jumped on the officer's back, his name was Shroff, and started choking him.

我的祖母可不吃這一套。她跳到那個叫 Shroff 的警官背上，開始掐他的脖子。

Keep in mind, she was 19 or 20 at this time. Like I said, badass.

要知道，當時她才 19 或 20 歲。就像我說的，壞蛋。

She always made a point to say that she dug her fingernails into his neck.

她總是不厭其煩地說，她用指甲摳他的脖子。

In the midst of the fight, he wrestled her to the ground and shot her in the head.

在打鬥中，他把她摔倒在地，朝她的頭部開了一槍。

But what Shroff didn't know was that the bullet just grazed her forehead.

但 Shroff 不知道的是，子彈只是擦過了她的前額。

There was lots of blood, but she played dead.

Suddenly, there was an air raid or something and the officers got distracted.

突然，發生了空襲什麼的，軍官們分了神。

Everyone, prisoners and officers alike, ended up going back to the barracks.

每個人，無論是囚犯還是軍官，最後都回到了軍營。

So, no one ended up getting killed that day.

My grandmother stayed there bleeding for a long time. She claims it was all night.

我祖母在那裡流了很長時間的血。她說整整一夜。

Then, she went back to the barracks and was like, surprise, I'm alive.

然後，她回到軍營，驚喜地發現我還活著。

Everyone she was with ended up hiding her under the barracks.

和她在一起的所有人最後都把她藏在了軍營下面。

The next day, while on patrol, the guards noticed my grandmother's body wasn't where they had left her.

第二天，警衛在巡邏時發現我祖母的屍體不在他們離開的地方。

They knew she was hiding. Give her to us or else we'll kill all of you.

他們知道她躲起來了把她交給我們，否則我們就把你們都殺了

So, of course, they give her up and the guards beat her up some more.

當然，他們把她供了出來，看守們又把她打了一頓。

From there, she was put in a jail and a high-ranking officer was threatening to kill her.

從那以後，她被關進了監獄，一名高級官員威脅要殺死她。

就在一切希望似乎都破滅的時候，萊昂來了。

Specifically, a diamond he had hidden in his secret pockets that was sewn in by her father.

特別是他藏在祕密口袋裡的鑽石，那是她父親縫製的。

On a different night, Shroff, the man who attempted to kill my grandmother, was drunk at the barracks.

在另一個晚上，企圖殺害我祖母的人 Shroff 在軍營裡喝得酩酊大醉。

He was waving his gun, saying he was going to shoot everyone.

他揮舞著槍，說他要射殺所有人。

Now, my grandmother was really sharp. She knew high German.

我的祖母非常聰明。她懂德語。

So, she was always able to communicate with the Nazis.

是以，她總能與納粹分子溝通。

Even though she didn't go through all her schooling, she was pretty much fluent in five languages.

儘管她沒有完成所有的學業，但她幾乎精通五種語言。

German, Polish, English, Yiddish, and Hebrew.

德語、波蘭語、英語、意第緒語和希伯來語。

Leon was able to use this to her advantage because she was able to calm Shroff down.

萊昂利用了這一點，因為她能夠讓 Shroff 冷靜下來。

He ended up leaving the barracks without killing anyone that night.

當晚，他最終沒有殺人就離開了軍營。

Some time passes and everyone in the barracks, including Leon, is sent off to various camps.

一段時間過去了，軍營裡的每個人，包括萊昂，都被送往不同的營地。

My grandmother and her family were deported to Auschwitz.

我的祖母和她的家人被驅逐到奧斯維辛集中營。

In January 1945, her and her mother march to Ravensbruck.

1945 年 1 月，她和母親前往拉文斯布魯克。

She knew her mother was close to death, so she cut off a lock of her hair.

她知道母親瀕臨死亡，於是剪下了母親的一綹頭髮。

The next day, when she went back to the infirmary, her mother was gone.

第二天，當她回到醫務室時，母親已經不在了。

My grandmother kept that lock of hair in a locket she always wore around her neck.

Fast forward to the end of the war and the camps get liberated.
