Summary
Dr Gisella Perl is a woman worth remembering this Women's History Month, a gynaecologist at a time when women, let alone Jewish women, were entering and excelling in medicine. A woman, a prisoner, a doctor who would work against the odds to save as many lives as she could in the notorious death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Warning, this week's episode is not for the faint of heart, a big huge trigger warning for all of the violence and abuse.

| 0:47.7 | not your history class, with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books. Starting today's episode off with |
| 0:56.9 | a correction. You heard me a correction. So I got an email from the lovely Lisa who had done a lot |

| 1:16.3 | £200 from her aunt, who was like the black sheep of the family. And this gave her what, |
| 1:22.8 | like three grand in today's money? Well, that was incredibly incorrect because it wasn't three grand in today's money. Well, that was incredibly incorrect because it wasn't three grand in today's |
| 1:31.2 | money. It would be close to 20,000 Australian dollars, which when you put it that way, kind of makes more |
| 1:39.0 | sense because at least this gives us an idea as to why she was able to go and do all this journey in, right? |
