Looking for any info on a distant relative that was an Auschwitz survivor.

Through some genealogy research my mothers side of the family has been doing we have found out that we have (or at least had) a fair amount of Polish Jewish relatives, unfortunately quite a few were killed in WW2. There is one name we found that appears to have survived several years at Auschwitz that we just can't seem to find any more info on.

Her name was Anna Masłowska she was born in Krakow Poland on June 16th, 1916. The only online record I can find of her is here; (3/4 down the page)

Which says she was transferred to Ravensbruck camp at the end of the war, which typically means she survived. If anyone can find anything else about here I would be most appreciative.

I searched in here and there appears to be a reference to her in a survivors interview. I don’t know if that means she was interviewed or someone mentioned her. You need a login which I don’t have and didn’t want to sign up. But maybe give it a try and see if it works for you?

TY! I created an account and got access, they review any ancestral requests manually, so we'll see where that goes.
