Kala was born in 1923 in Dąbrowa Górnicza in the Zaglebie region, Poland. In 1940 they began to concentrate the Jews of the city in a ghetto, the schools were closed and the Jewish community began to organize activities and lessons for the children who had been left without any framework. Kala took a course in knitting and decoration and the skills that she gained served her later when she was in the camp.
