Ravensbrück

Ravensbrück was a Nazi concentration camp established in 1939 primarily for women, located near Neustadt-Glewe in Germany. Initially intended for political prisoners, it later housed female inmates from various backgrounds, including Jews, Roma, and resistance fighters. The camp was notorious for its brutal conditions, forced labor, medical experiments, and high mortality rates. Over 130,000 women were imprisoned there, and tens of thousands perished. Ravensbrück serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the impact of totalitarian regimes, highlighting the importance of remembering history to prevent similar atrocities in the future.
