About Franceska Mann
- Franciszka Manheimer-Rosenberg (4 February 1917 – 23 October 1943), better known as Franceska Mann, was a Polish-Jewish ballerina who is said to have killed a Nazi guard while a prisoner at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Josef Shillinger, and wounded at least one other, Wilhelm Emmerich, initiating an uprising among female Jewish prisoners before she was killed, presumably by gunfire.
- In the most popular version of the event, Mann is said to have performed a striptease for members of the Nazi regime and once down to naught but high heels, took one of her shoes and stabbed Walter Quakernack in the face with the heel-piece, causing him to drop his firearm, which she then used to shoot Schillinger and Emmerich.
- Schillinger ultimately died from his wounds several hours later while Emmerich was left with a permanent limp.
