Yehiel De-Nur or Dinur, was born Yehiel Finer in 1917, in Poland, near the German border. He died of cancer on July 17, 2001.
During World War II De-Nur spent two years as a prisoner in Auschwitz. In 1945, he moved to British-mandate Palestine (later Israel) and became a writer-historian survivor who wrote several works in Hebrew under the penname Ka-Tzetnik 135633, his concentration camp number. His work documented the history of Nazi atrocities. He wrote anonymously under this name for some time before his identity was revealed at the trial of Nazi leader Adolph Eichmann in 1961.
Among his most famous works was House of Dolls (1956), which described the Joy Division, a Nazi system that kept Jewish women as sex slaves in concentration camps.
