Róża Berger born Reizel Leser (20
June 1889 – 11 August 1945) was the only victim of the 1945 Kraków pogrom. She
was born in Kraków and married Józef (Josef) Berger on 17 September 1911 in
Kraków under the Austrian partition. During World War II she escaped
imprisonment in the Kraków Ghetto; however, she was rounded up in August 1944
with her Daughter and Granddaughter and deported to Auschwitz Concentration Camp
(Prisoner Number 89186). After the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army she
returned to Kraków, where she was shot by security forces and killed while
standing behind closed doors at her home during the anti-Jewish disturbance of
11 August 1945. She was buried in the New Jewish Cemetery at 55 Miodowa street
