( In some of the articles I read on her it would state that she was sent to different labor and concertation camps and would try and save or hide people in each camp .)This explains my claim because the other 3 participations weren’t sent to labor or concertation camps.

Everyone wants to be successful, who would not want to be acknowledged? A lot of people do not want to put in the very hard work it takes to be successful, and some people are just lucky enough to be born into success.
