Zofia Dymant (Sara Benet) was born in 1923 in Brzeziny, Poland. In 1940, the Gestapo interned her in the ghetto in Tomaszów, Poland. Zofia fled the ghetto with false identification papers in the name Zofia Sporzynska and went to Warsaw, Poland. During the Warsaw Uprising in October 1944, Germans captured and sent Zofia to camps in Wola, Poland, and later Namslau, Germany. The Soviet Army liberated the camp in 1945. Zofia emigrated to Sweden and later, in 1948, to the United States.
