  • “These Girls’ Fashion is Sick!”: An African City and the Geography of Sartorial Worldliness

Bejarano survived the Holocaust through a combination of chance and musical talent.

The orchestra was forced to play as new arrivals were marched to the gas chambers, a memory she carried "with tears in [her] eyes".

Deported to Auschwitz in 1943, she volunteered for the girls' orchestra despite originally being a pianist.

After the war, Bejarano emigrated to Israel before returning to Germany in 1960. Her activism was sparked in 1979 when she saw German police protecting neo-Nazi protesters.
