Answer
wa'alaykumsalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatouh.

Yes. She accepted Islam.

She was the daughter of the leader of the Jews whom the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him married after the Muslim defeated the Jews at Khaybar.

The only person who could save her from becoming a slave after having enjoyed such a high position was the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him .

Allah knows best
