Breindel (Bronka) Gittler from Sosnowiec, Poland was confined in the ghetto with her father and other members of her family. In March 1943, 17-year-old Breindel was deported to the Faulbrueck labor camp together with other young girls where they were forced to work in a brick factory. Six months later she was transferred to the Reichenbach camp and from there was sent to Langenbielau, a sub-camp of Gross-Rosen, where she was given the prison number 49513. In this camp Breindel was sent to work in a factory manufacturing parachutes for the German Army.
After the liberation of the camp, Breindel and her friends, who had nothing, made themselves their first civilian clothing: nightdresses made out of parachute material.
On her return to Sosnowiec after the war, she discovered that her father had perished in the ghetto in 1943, and that her sister had been deported with her family and murdered. Breindel was her family's sole survivor. In 1948 she immigrated to Canada and married Sigmund Teitelbaum.
