A holocaust survivor and tireless advocate for the world's poor shares her personal journey from the Ravensbru+a5ck concentration camp to the French Resistance and eventually, a life led improving the lives of the poorest of the poor. 35,000 first printing.

    Ravensbrück was the only major Nazi concentration camp for women. Located about fifty miles north of Berlin, the camp was the site of murder by slave labor, torture, starvation, shooting, lethal injection, "medical" experimentation, and gassing.    While this camp was designed to hold 5,000 women, the actual figure was six times this number. Between 1939 and 1945, 132,000 women from twenty-three countries were imprisoned in Ravensbrück, including political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses, "asocials" (including Gypsies, prostitutes, and lesbians), criminals, and Jewish women (who made up about 20 percent of the population). Only 15,000 survived.    Drawing upon more than sixty narratives and interviews of survivors in the United States, Israel, and Europe as well as unpublished testimonies, documents, and photographs from private archives, Rochelle Saidel provides a vivid collective and individual portrait of Ravensbrück’s Jewish women prisoners. She worked for over twenty years to track down these women whose poignant testimonies deserve to be shared with a wider audience and future generations. Their memoirs provide new perspectives and information about satellite camps (there were about 70 slave labor sub-camps). Here is the story of real daily camp life with the women’s thoughts about food, friendships, fear of rape and sexual abuse, hygiene issues, punishment, work, and resistance. Saidel includes accounts of the women's treatment, their daily struggles to survive, their hopes and fears, their friendships, their survival strategies, and the aftermath.    On April 30, 1945, the Soviet Army liberated Ravensbrück. They found only 3,000 extremely ill women in the camp, because the Nazis had sent other remaining women on a death march. The Jewish Women of Ravensbrück Concentration Camp reclaims the lost voices of the victims and restores the personal accounts of the survivors.

Neuware - Filme über die Schoah und die Lager gehören zur pluralen Nachgeschichte der nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen. Katja S. Baumgärtner diskutiert in einem geschlechtersensiblen Close-Reading-Verfahren weitgehend unbekannte Filme über das KZ-Ravensbrück, die nach 1945 im internationalen Kontext entstanden sind.'Die exzellente Studie ist ein Gewinn für das gut besetzte Forschungsfeld zu Ravensbrück, das seit 1993 mit zahlreichen Themen besät wurde. Dabei lag das Medium Film bislang völlig brach. Nun hat sich diese Brache, um in der agraren Terminologie zu bleiben, in einen fruchtbaren Boden bzw. auch in eine blühende Landschaft verwandelt.'Prof. Dr. Sigrid Jacobeit, 1992-2005 Leiterin der Mahn- und Gedenkstätte Ravensbrück.'Das Buch bietet ein vorbildliches Kompendium an Ravensbrück-Filmen und schließt damit eine große Forschungslücke. Die Autorin leitet den Blick auf Aspekte der Holocaust-, Film- und Geschlechterforschung, die bisher unberücksichtigt blieben, und ermöglicht in der Zusammenführung Vergleiche zwischen den Memorialkulturen verschiedener Regionen, Epochen und Medien.'Prof. Dr. Christina von Braun, Selma Stern Zentrum für Jüdische Studien Berlin- Brandenburg.

303 S. mit zahlreichen s/w-Abbildungen und einem Plan zur Baugeschichte des Konzentrationslagers Ravensbrück. "Für viele Frauen, die zwischen 1939 und 1945 im Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück, ca. 90 Kilometer nördlich von Berlin gelegen, inhaftiert waren, stellten Singen und Musizieren eine unentbehrliche Lebenshilfe dar, wenn es freiwillig und heimlich geschah. Musik war jedoch auch Teil der Tortur, denn Musik wurde von der SS im Lageralltag zynisch eingesetzt, sei es als erzwungenes Zuhören bei Hinrichtungen oder verordnetes Singen auf dem Weg zur Zwangsarbeit.In dem Band 'Frauenstimmen' lässt die Autorin sieben Frauen, die in Ravensbrück wegen ihrer Gegnerschaft zum Nationalsozialismus inhaftiert waren, in ausführlichen Lebensbildern zu Wort kommen: zwei polnische, zwei tschechische, zwei deutsche Frauen und eine Tschechin aus Wien, die Österreich als ihre Heimat bezeichnet, aber gleichermaßen der tschechischen und slowakischen Kultur verbunden ist.Weitere 140 Kurzbiographien von professionellen und Laienmusikerinnen aus zahlreichen europäischen Ländern, die diese Studie erst vervollständigen, lassen ein beindruckendes Bild des 'heimlichen' Musiklebens in Ravensbrück entstehen."

Already a decorated heroine World War I, British-born Mary Lindell, Comtesse de Milleville, was one of the most colorful and courageous agents of World War II, yet her story has almost been forgotten. Evoking the spirit of Edith Cavell, and taking the German occupation of Paris in 1940 as a personal affront, she led an escape line for patriotic Frenchmen and British soldiers. After imprisonment, escape to England, a secret return to France and another arrest, she began to witness the horrors of German-run prisons and concentration camps. In April 1945, a score of British and American women emerged from the Women’s Hell—Ravensbrück concentration camp—who had been kept alive by the willpower and the strength of one woman, Mary Lindell. She combined a passion for adventure with blunt speech and persistently displayed the greatest personal bravery in the face of great adversity. To counter German claims that they had no British or American prisoners, Mary smuggled out a plea for rescue and produced her list from her pinafore pocket, compiled in secret from the camp records. This vital list contained the names of captured women, many of whom were agents of British Military Intelligence, the Special Operations Executive or the French Resistance. Poignantly supported by first-hand testimony, Lindell’s List tells the moving story of Mary Lindell’s heroic leadership and the endurance of a group of women who defied the Nazis in World War II.

On February 4, 1941, Nanda Herbermann, a German Catholic writer and editor, was arrested by the Gestapo in Münster, Germany. Accused of collaboration with the Catholic movement, Herbermann was deported to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp for Women in July 1941 and later released upon direct orders from Heinrich Himmler on March 19, 1943. Although she was instructed by the Gestapo not to reveal information about the camp, Herbermann soon began to record her memories of her experiences. The Blessed Abyss was originally published in German under the imprint of the Allied occupation forces in 1946, and it now appears in English for the first time. Hester Baer and Elizabeth Baer include an extensive introduction that situates Herbermann's work within current debates about gender and the Holocaust and provides historical and biographical information about Herbermann, Ravensbrück, and the Third Reich.

Mary Lindell, the Comtesse de Milleville, was British-born but a largely forgotten agent. She combined a passion for adventure with blunt speech and persistently displayed the greatest personal bravery.  The Germans denied that American or British prisoners were imprisoned in Ravensbrück, but Lindell smuggled out a secretly compiled list that detailed women who were agents of British Military Intelligence, Special Operations Executive (SOE), or the French Resistance. Lindell’s List details their survival and rescue under Mary’s heroic leadership. The work includes first-person testimony that has never been published before.

Hardcover. The Trial of a Nazi Doctor examines the life of Franz Bernhard Lucas (1911-1994), an SS camp doctor with assignments in Auschwitz, Mauthausen, Stutthof, Ravensbrueck, and Sachsenhausen. Covering his career during the Third Reich and then his prosecution after 1945, especially in the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial, Andrew Wisely explores the lies, obfuscations, misrepresentation, and confusions that Lucas himself created to deny, distract from or excuse his participation in the Nazis genocidal projects. By juxtaposing Lucass own testimonies and those of a wide range of witnesses: former camp inmates and Holocaust survivors; friends, colleagues, and relatives; and media observers, Wisely provides a nuanced study of witness testimonies and the moral identity of Holocaust perpetrators.

While flying an Allied fighter plane from Paris to England, American ATA pilot and amateur poet, Rose Justice, is captured by the Nazis and sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious women's concentration camp. Trapped in horrific circumstances, Rose finds hope in the impossible through the loyalty, bravery and friendship of her fellow prisoners. But will that be enough to endure the fate that's in store for her?Elizabeth Wein, author of the critically-acclaimed and best-selling Code Name Verity, delivers another stunning WWII thriller. The unforgettable story of Rose Justice is forged from heart-wrenching courage, resolve, and the slim, bright chance of survival. Praise for Rose Under Fire * "Wein masterfully sets up a stark contrast between the innocent American teen's view of an untarnished world and the realities of the Holocaust. [A]lthough the story's action follows [Code Name Verity]'s, it has its own, equally incandescent integrity. Rich in detail, from the small kindnesses of fellow prisoners to harrowing scenes of escape and the Nazi Doctors' Trial in Nuremburg, at the core of this novel is the resilience of human nature and the power of friendship and hope." -Kirkus, starred review * "Wein excels at weaving research seamlessly into narrative and has crafted another indelible story about friendship borne out of unimaginable adversity." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
