The Woman Who Shot an SS Officer. A dancer. A gun. A single shot that echoed through Auschwitz.

In 1945, as death loomed at Auschwitz, a Jewish ballerina from Warsaw is said to have done the unthinkable — wrestled a gun from an SS officer and shot him dead near the gas chambers.

Her name was Francesca Mann. Her act became a whispered legend — part truth, part rumor, completely unforgettable.

But who was she really? A resistance fighter? A seductress? Or a symbol the world needed to believe in?

With almost no surviving records and decades of conflicting testimonies, Francesca’s story has been lost in layers of myth. This gripping documentary unravels the truth from the legend — using rare archival material, survivor accounts, and striking visual storytelling to piece together the life, death, and legacy of one of history’s most mysterious figures.
