What was Ravensbrück?

Ravensbrück was the largest Women's only concentration camp during the Nazi occupation of Germany and its surrounding countries. Operating from May 1939 to April 1945, it unethically housed over 150,000 individuals from more than twenty countries. Ravensbrück housed political dissidents, artists, religious noncomformists, and Jewish people, the Camp was known for its brutality, originally being perceived as a reeducation facility, they were able to operate with less public scrutiny in the beginning. Though, like most things Nazi, the conditions rapidly deteriorated, leading to the incessant and repetitive traumatization of women. (EBSCO)
