Deborah is a traditional orthodox Jew, who devoutly practices her faith and raises her children to do likewise. She is a strong-willed and stubborn woman who criticizes her husband's capitulation to the Nazi leadership in Warsaw and spends her time taking care of orphans in the ghetto of Warsaw. She and Chris De Monti have a long-term love affair, but she is unwilling to escape when he provides the opportunity, refusing to desert those who need her. In the end, Deborah, near death, consumes a cyanide capsule to end her life.
