Prisoners in the Auschwitz family camp resisted an SS attempt to liquidate the camp. Armed with improvised tools and refusing orders, they forced the SS to postpone the operation; later selections and killings followed. The revolt is an act of Roma and Sinti agency within a structure designed to deny choice and survival. The date is documented in survivor testimony and memorial scholarship, though details of the sequence vary across accounts.
