[2] She survived the "selection" and was assigned to Auschwitz-II Birkenau labor commando for women, where she got involved in the underground dissemination of news among the prisoners.

She had been recruited by men of the underground whom she knew from her hometown, to smuggle "Schwarzpulver" (Black powder, gunpowder; or perhaps dynamite according to other, possibly less reliable sources)[4] collected by daring young women who were forced to work in the Krupp "Weichsel" munitions factory.

In her work, Róża was assisted by Hadassa Zlotnicka and her male counterpart, Godel Silber, both also from Ciechanów, whom Robota apparently enlisted in the resistance.

[6] Robota and three other women – Ala Gertner, Ester Wajcblum, and Regina Safirsztajn – were arrested by the Gestapo and severely tortured in the infamous Bloc 11 but they refused to reveal the names of others who participated in the smuggling operation.

Other witnesses state they shouted, "Chazak V'amatz" – "Be strong and have courage", the Biblical phrase that God uses to encourage Joshua after the death of Moses.

This initiative was made possible by Sam Spitzer, a resistance fighter during World War II and now a resident of Sydney.

The Foundation also arranged a fiftieth-anniversary commemoration of the Sonderkommando Revolt at the site of a destroyed crematorium in the Auschwitz Museum.
