Biography
Irene Zisblatt (née Zegelstein; born 28 December 1929) is a Carpathian Mountains-born American Holocaust survivor. She was an inmate in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. She appeared in the 1998 documentary The Last Days and published her autobiography The Fifth Diamond in 2008. A 2021 article in The Times of Israel, citing independent historian Joachim Neander, stated that there were "serious doubts about the veracity" of Zisblatt's account of her time in the concentration camps, and that many elements of her story were "implausible" and "stretch credulity", including her testimony of escaping the camp by being thrown over a ten foot wall into a passing train by a sonderkommando.
