Anna Lipszyc was born on September 5, 1918 in Skierniewice, Poland. During the time of the German occupation of Skierniewice, Anna Lipszyc assumed a false Polish identity of Anna (Hanka) Wójcik. It is believed that her friend Jurek (Georg) Gutkind, who served in Jüdische Ordnungsienst (Jewish Order Police), organized and provided all the necessary documents enabling her to maintain false identity.

Using a false name and documents, she either volunteered or was forcefully sent in German Labor Service. Anna Lipszyc survived war in Germany by posing as a Polish catholic woman. She worked as a home aid.
Jurek Gutkind, being personally attached to Anka, continued sending letters to her in Germany. As he stated, correspondence with someone in Poland, proves the truthfulness of the assumed identity. The letters from Jurek to Anka are of a personal and often intimate matter. The narrative reflects his fond feelings to Anna Lipszyc. Jurek Gutkind continued sending her letters even after he has been falsely accused for receiving of a bribe and imprisoned in Lublin Castle prison by the German authority. Jurek believed that his fellow Jewish policemen slandered him. He awaited the trial at the Lublin Castle. He was sentenced to a concentration camp term and sent to Buchenwald. Jurek continued writing letters to Anka from the Buchenwald concentration camp.
After the liberation, Anna Lipszyc revealed her real name and nationality. Anna Lipszyc was then employed by the US Military Government of Wurttemberg-Baden with the medical supply unit.
