Sala Garncarz and her family lived in Sosnowiec, an industrial city of 130,000 in Upper Silesia, Poland, a region noted for coal mining and manufacturing. The Jewish community of 29,000 was largely self-governed. Jewish organizations managed social services such as hospitals, schools, burial societies, and orphanages. in the fall of 1940, Sala's sister Raizel was ordered to report to a Nazi labor camp. Sala, two years younger, volunteered to take her place, believing that the timid, pious, intellectual Raizel would find it harder to adapt. Their parents acquiesced, never suspecting that the six weeks of required labor would become five years of slavery. On October 28, 1940, Sala and her mother joined hundreds of Jews at the Sosnowitz train station.
