It was more common for prisoners to escape from one of the satellite camps or while being transported from one location to another. There are reports that SS personnel assisted them occasionally. Nevertheless, any attempt to escape was dangerous. The prisoner then had to go into hiding somewhere in Germany or try to reach her home country without being detected on the way. Most escape attempts were individual actions and it was not until near the end of the war that small groups also managed to escape from death marches.     <\/p><p>If a fugitive was caught, she faced severe punishment: beatings, detention in the \u201cbunker\u201d or imprisonment in the punishment block. The SS also imposed collective punishments, such as those in the case of Katharina Waitz, a Romani who escaped from Ravensbr\u00fcck for the second time in 1941. While the search for her was underway, all the inmates were punished by being forced to stand for hours. Prisoners in the punishment block from which she had escaped were also deprived of food for three days. When she was caught by the SS two days later, even though she had already been severely abused by them, camp commandant Max Koegel handed her over to the other prisoners in the punishment block, and they beat her to death out of revenge.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34b850e e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"34b850e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad7b2c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"ad7b2c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Mzk1LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0wNC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2313\" height=\"1754\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-395\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04.jpg 2313w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04-1536x1165.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-04-2048x1553.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2313px) 100vw, 2313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Covers of the books by Eugenia Kocwa and Yvonne Pagniez on their respective escapes, 1973 and 1949<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>The publications of two former Ravensbr\u00fcck prisoners focussed on their successful escapes:<br>Eugenia Kocwa escaped from the \u201cforest detachment\u201d in May 1944.

There she was forced to work at the precision mechanics company Fritz and Georg Merz. In January 1943, the Gestapo arrested her for spreading Communist propaganda in the barracks and in March she was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp, where she worked in the Navy satellite camp, an armaments factory in F\u00fcrstenberg. Here, she and some Soviet and Polish prisoners secretly wrote flyers for \u201cInternational Workers Day\u201d on 1 May 1943. Shortly before they were able to distribute these in the factory, someone informed on them and they were imprisoned in the \u201cbunker\u201d and beaten before being sent to the punishment block. In January 1945, Klawdia Jazenko was transferred to Universelle, a Dresden armaments company serving as a satellite camp of Flossenb\u00fcrg concentration camp.      <\/p><p>After the war, she settled in Lviv, Ukraine, where she married and worked as an accountant. In retrospect, Klara \u0160idlovskaja, as she was now named, said that in her opinion, there had not been much solidarity between the female Red Army soldiers and the forced labourers in the camp, as she once wrote to her former fellow inmate, Antonina Nikiforova. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df83d95 e-con-full

and inmates of the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp also made use of them. The main aim of the leaflets was to pass on information to fellow inmates and boost their morale. The leaflets produced for 1 May, for example, were a form of resistance to the Nazis appropriating the date \u2013 of strong symbolic significance to the international labour movement \u2013 and renaming it \u201cNational Labour Day\u201d. It is not known if and how the leaflets were ever actually distributed. There are reports that five Russian girls created leaflets showing a red star to celebrate 1 May 1944. They were caught, however, imprisoned in the cell block, known as the \u201cbunker\u201d, and beaten, before being sent to the so-called punishment block.      <\/p><p>In 1942, prisoners assigned to the workshop producing army sewing kits used leaflets in place of the paper on which the thread was normally wound. The leaflets urged the soldiers to refuse to fight against the Soviet Union. It was written by a Czech prisoner, Hilda Synkov\u00e1, and fellow prisoners copied it. Polish women deployed in the workshop used the sewing kit pouches to smuggle out news on the situation behind the front.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

In 1933, she moved to Paris and became immersed in intellectual and artistic life there. She was arrested in 1944, presumably for helping people to escape, and was deported to the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp. There she worked on the Siemens production site.   <\/p><p>On Christmas Eve 1944, she met the opera singer Nelly Mousset, who was singing Christmas carols for her fellow prisoners in a French block. The two fell in love. Nelly Mousset, mother of two daughters, had been arrested in 1943 for spying for the Belgian resistance. In her secret diary, she described the importance of her relationship with Nadine Hwang in the camp and how this had been essential for her survival. In March 1945, she was transferred to Mauthausen concentration camp where she was subsequently liberated. Nadine Hwang travelled to Malm\u00f6 with the Swedish Red Cross. Thanks to her assistance, Rachel Krausz, a Dutch Jew, and her daughter Irene were also able to join this transport.      <\/p><p>The couple were reunited in Brussels in 1946. Nelly Mousset got a divorce and moved with Nadine Hwang to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, in 1950. The Belgian state later honoured her as a war heroine.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7af9cb e-con-full

They fell in love or formed small \u201cfamilies\u201d comprising several women and children. Diary entries, drawings and numerous gifts that have been preserved show how important these deeper relationships were. Friends provided emotional support, offered protection and cared for each other when they fell ill. They shared food and clothing and helped each other with hard labour. The older women, called \u201ccamp mothers\u201d, became carers for minors who had no relatives. They organised toys and gave the children tuition. In some cases, women adopted \u201ctheir\u201d child after the war had ended.       <\/p><p>Lesbian relationships were strictly forbidden according to camp rules, so couples had to be particularly careful, especially as there was no form of privacy. They ran a high risk of denunciation by fellow prisoners because in those times female homosexuals were very much ostracised by society.  <\/p><p>Camp relationships developed both across national borders as well as political, religious and social boundaries. Some of them lasted a lifetime. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1b185b e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b1b185b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95df666 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"95df666\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTQ3LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0wOC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2313\" height=\"1771\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-547\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08.jpg 2313w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08-1024x784.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08-1536x1176.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-08-2048x1568.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2313px) 100vw, 2313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Kv\u011bta Hnili\u010dkov\u00e1 \u201cOur Island\u201d, 1944\/45<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>Czech artist Hnili\u010dkov\u00e1 drew this card for her German friend Ilse Hunger.

She distributed socialist leaflets and in 1939, she refused to work in the armaments industry. Her father hid her in the uncle\u2019s cellar, where she prepared illegal material for distribution. She was betrayed by a family member, however, and was arrested in 1941.   <\/p><p>After terms in the Rudersberg labour education camp, Auschwitz and the Uckermark \u201cJuvenile Protective Custody Camp\u201d, Elfriede Mergenthaler was eventually sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck in November 1942. At first she was put to hard labour and was then transferred to the prisoners\u2019 kitchen. Here, she and her comrades stole potatoes and distributed these to Sinti and Roma children at night until a fellow prisoner denounced them. The SS punished her with 75 lashes and detention in the cell block and the punishment block. Towards the end of the war, she hid in the camp since she was ill.    <\/p><p>She returned to Heilbronn in the summer of 1945, married and gave birth to a son. However, she constantly required medical treatment for conditions resulting from her imprisonment. Elfriede Mergenthaler, named Schneider after her marriage, spoke about her experiences under the Nazis for the first time in 1984.

She was born in Merzig in the Saarland as one of five children. She worked as a prostitute, first in Cologne and then, from 1927 on, in D\u00fcsseldorf. On 30 July 1938 she was arrested during a raid, was classified as \u201cantisocial\u201d and sent to Lichtenburg concentration camp. After this camp was dissolved in 1939, she was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck.    <\/p><p>The SS put her in charge of a work brigade in the storage cellar. She stole food there for over a year and shared it with her work detachment. This gained her respect and prevented her from being denounced within her own ranks. However, following an intrigue by political prisoners, Else Krug was punished by detention in the cell block, followed by imprisonment in the punishment block. There, the camp commandant, Max Koegel, ordered her to beat a fellow female prisoner if she wanted an early release. She refused to follow this order. As a result, the SS sent her to the gas chamber in Bernburg in February 1942 as part of the \u201c14 f 13\u201d euthanasia programme.      <\/p><p>In August 2025, a \u201cstumbling block\u201d to commemorate Else Krug will be placed in front of her last known place of residence in Saarbr\u00fccken.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

inmates, for example by appointing them as \u201cprisoner functionaries\u201d in the camp and in work detachments, by turning them into informants, or by getting them to assist in the selection and punishment processes. Some prisoners refused to comply with such demands, even if they risked punishment themselves as a result. In 1943, Polish women protested against medical experiments to which they were to be subjected, but only succeeded in postponing surgical operations. Others, like Else Krug, refused to punish fellow prisoners.    <\/p><p>Soviet prisoners of war and French inmates refused to sing German songs and sang songs in their own language instead. There are also stories of prisoners who physically resisted beating and harassment by the SS. <\/p><p>Some prisoners circumvented orders, such as Hanna Sturm from the construction brigade. She was ordered to board up the windows of the Jewish block in the summer of 1940. However, she used extra-short nails for this so that the women inside could secretly ventilate the room.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

connections to the resistance movement. She was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck where, at the initiative of a fellow Yugoslav prisoner, she was assigned to the internal diseases block as a physician. Although this allowed her to help fellow prisoners, she also had to decide, on a day to day basis, whom to help with the limited resources at her disposal.  <\/p><p>Early in 1945, she and Dr. Maria Grabska, a prisoner from Poland, removed the numbers that had been tattooed on the arms of Jewish communists Toni Lehr, Gerti Schindel and Edith Rosenbl\u00fcth in Auschwitz, thus enabling all three to hide in the camp unrecognised. <\/p><p>After her liberation, Majda Ma\u010dkov\u0161ek returned to Ljubljana.

Some of them were able to protect fellow prisoners by secretly treating their wounds, performing life-saving surgery and administering stolen medicines. They made false diagnoses to give prisoners a break from hard labour. Manipulated medical records, forged sick notes and laboratory results helped to save inmates from deportation. Particularly during the chaotic months of spring 1945, the infirmary also served as a hiding place for fugitives. At the same time, it also became a more dangerous place, as so-called \u201cselections\u201d took place there regularly.     <\/p><p>Thanks to a joint assistance effort, the Jewish communists Toni Lehr, Gerti Schindel and Edith Rosenbl\u00fcth survived. They had been transferred from Auschwitz in January 1945. Fellow prisoners hid them, gave them dead inmates\u2019 prisoner numbers and smuggled them onto Swedish Red Cross liberation transports in April. Prior to this, the numbers that had been tattooed on their arms in Auschwitz were removed by the doctors Maria Grabska, from Poland, and Majda Ma\u010dkov\u0161ek, from Yugoslavia, themselves both

Both had produced and distributed material for the KPD, although they were not party members. After they had served their sentence, the Gestapo transferred them to concentration camps in August 1942. Friends and family took care of their two-year old son.   <\/p><p>Ilse Hunger was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck, where in 1943 she was given the task of assisting the SS camp administration in coordinating prisoners\u2019 work assignments. Together with like-minded prisoners, she manipulated work assignment and transport lists, concealed punishment orders and assigned false prisoner numbers. In this way she organised the transfer of Rita Sprengel and Nadja Kalnitzkaja to other camps in 1944. The lives of the two women were in danger following sabotage activities at the Siemens factory near Ravensbr\u00fcck.   <\/p><p>At the end of April 1945, Ilse Hunger escaped from a death march and returned to Ravensbr\u00fcck to nurse the sick. Back in Leipzig, she joined the Germany Communist Party (KPD) and, later on, the German Socialist Unity Party (SED), where she also worked for a while. She was also involved in the efforts to establish the Ravensbr\u00fcck National Memorial Museum.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

Working in such key roles gave them the opportunity to forge documents and assist fellow prisoners. Manipulated transport lists, for instance, enabled women who were at risk of \u201cselection\u201d to be transferred to satellite camps, and as a result of such intervention, weaker prisoners were often given jobs with better working conditions, such as gardening, or in the knitting detachment of the textile workshops.  <\/p><p>Prisoner functionaries also often destroyed punishment orders. With the help of prisoners working in the infirmary, they also managed to give endangered women the prisoner numbers and names of dead inmates or in some cases the identities of prisoners who had already been sent to other camps. This allowed women in Ravensbr\u00fcck or its satellite camps to go into hiding. Thanks to forged transport lists, other prisoners managed to obtain a place on the Red Cross liberation transports in April 1945.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20a61c9 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"20a61c9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd04372 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"dd04372\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTY3LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0xOC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2313\" height=\"1754\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-567\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18.jpg 2313w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18-1536x1165.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-18-2048x1553.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2313px) 100vw, 2313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Knitting detachment \u2013 drawing by Jeanne Letourneau, prior to 1945<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>The SS-owned company \u201cGesellschaft f\u00fcr Textil- und Lederverwertung mbH\u201d (Texled) had been running production facilities for the Wehrmacht and the SS on the concentration camp grounds since 1941.

In 1942, she was arrested for resisting the German occupation. She gave birth to a daughter while imprisoned in Trier court prison and the child was then sent to live with its grandmother.  <\/p><p>In June 1943, the Gestapo transferred Yvonne Useldinger to Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp, where she had an office job at the Siemens production site. She became involved in acts of sabotage, kept a secret diary and sketched everyday scenes and fellow prisoners. Together with four other women, she wrote the \u201cTen Commandments for Illegally Organised Prisoners\u201d. The group passed on these rules about communal life and survival in a concentration camp to trustworthy inmates. In 1945, she sketched a map of the current front line and reproduced and distributed this in the camp.     <\/p><p>Yvonne Useldinger was liberated by the Swedish Red Cross in April 1945. Back in her home country, she again became actively involved in the party and co-founded the Union des Femmes Luxembourgeoises, whose aim it was to improve the social standing of women and fight for

In the final months of the war, any good news fuelled hopes of imminent liberation. In order to obtain current news, prisoners would smuggle newspapers into the camp from their external workplaces. They also analysed the officially authorised newspapers and even misprints being used as toilet paper in the camp. Women who worked in SS offices and private homes secretly listened to the radio, sometimes even to English-language radio stations. They also obtained information from new arrivals at the camp and from inmates who had contact with civilian employees at their workplaces. Rumours say that a home-made radio receiver also existed in the camp for a while in 1943.       <\/p><p>News was spread during the hours-long roll calls and during walks along the camp roads. Prisoners who were allowed to move around the camp more freely, such as artisans, gardeners and camp couriers, also passed on news. There was also an exchange of information between the men\u2019s and the women\u2019s camp.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4049c1b e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4049c1b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ba377e elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"5ba377e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTcxLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0yMC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2313\" height=\"1754\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-571\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20.jpg 2313w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20-1536x1165.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-20-2048x1553.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2313px) 100vw, 2313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Sketched map by Yvonne Useldinger showing the front line in the direction of Ravensbr\u00fcck, 1945<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>Based on information that her Czech fellow prisoner, Bo\u017eena Rotterov\u00e1, had gathered from a newspaper, Yvonne Useldinger, from Luxembourg, sketched a map of the advance of the Red Army, thus illustrating imminent liberation of the concentration camp.

For this reason, while they were in the concentration camp, they often did not talk about their previous underground activities. All the same, the prisoners were aware of the advantages of networks and groups, since besides allowing the important exchange of ideas, these also afforded personal protection. In November 1941, some Polish girl scouts set up the secret \u201cMury\u201d (walls) group led by J\u00f3zefa Kantor, an experienced girl scout. Over time, the group grew to over 100 members, who were mainly involved in organising food and providing medical care. They afforded mutual moral support and gave each other not only school lessons but also scout training.     <\/p><p>Anna Truszkowska-Kuliniczowa reported on a group that was thinking about the \u201cUnited Nations of Europe\u201d: Here, two women at a time from each country were invited to discuss possible post-war concepts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6757a0c e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6757a0c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fc56d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"9fc56d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTc1LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0yMi1zY2FsZWQuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2106\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-575\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-scaled.jpg 2106w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-842x1024.jpg 842w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-768x934.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-1263x1536.jpg 1263w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-22-1685x2048.jpg 1685w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2106px) 100vw, 2106px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Embroidered patch with concentration camp motifs, undated<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>Four of these emblems are known, so it can be assumed that this was a sign of togetherness of a specific group in the camp, probably Polish.

She had also taught in secret, since Poles had been excluded from higher education under the German occupation. She was deported to Ravensbr\u00fcck, where she worked in various sectors, including the tailor shop. She also continued her teaching activities at the camp, as well as writing texts &#8211; including the \u201cRavensbr\u00fcck Camp Prayer\u201d. Thanks to her, many of the transport lists to Ravensbr\u00fcck have been preserved.    <\/p><p>After liberation, Urszula Wi\u0144ska and her family lived in Zopot, where she worked as a teacher. During this time, she focussed on the didactics and methods of teaching the Polish language. In 1957 she was awarded the first chair of methodology and didactics of Polish literature and language in Poland. This was in Gda\u0144sk, where she was also appointed associate professor in 1968.  <\/p><p>After her retirement, she wrote about life in the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp.

For example, some Polish women wrote reports on the medical experiments carried out on their legs and smuggled these, together with descriptions of their imprisonment conditions to Polish prisoners of war in Neubrandenburg. These, in turn, passed the reports on to the Polish exile government. Some of the originals of the reports had been buried in a jar which was not discovered until 1976.   <\/p><p>In the tailor shop, prisoners had to make the textile rectangles which bore the prisoners\u2019 numbers and were attached to their clothes. These were based on the transport lists of new arrivals. Urszula Wi\u0144ska hid the lists and managed to get some of them copied. These were then hidden in some 70 parcels and given to prisoners who were able to leave the camp after liberation by the Swedish Red Cross at the end of April 1945.   <\/p><p>The last camp secretary of the Ravensbr\u00fcck men\u2019s camp, J\u00f3zef Kwietniewski, also tried to smuggle documents out of the camp when it was liberated. He managed to save the ledgers listing the prisoners\u2019 numbers and thanks to these, the names of almost all the approximately 20,000 male prisoners are now known.

She had worked for the Comintern in Moscow and fought with the International Brigades in Spain alongside her second husband, Artur London. In 1938 she returned to France, had a child and joined the Resistance. She motivated women, in particular, to engage in resistance to the German occupation.   <\/p><p>She was arrested in 1942, gave birth to her second child in prison and was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck in June 1944 as \u00c9lisabeth Delaune. When she fell ill, the block elder, Hilda Synkov\u00e1, and Zdenka Nedv\u011bdov\u00e1, the inmates\u2019 doctor and fellow prisoner, helped her to recover. She thanked them with two secretly-made dolls. At the end of July, she was transferred to the HASAG Leipzig satellite camp.   <\/p><p>After the war, \u00c9lisabeth (Lise) London again became involved in women\u2019s politics and the communist party. She lived with her family in Prague after 1949.

At the same time, these activities helped to strengthen relationships among the prisoners. The women often stole material from their workplace and the articles were made secretly either during work hours or in the barracks after work.   <\/p><p>Bags, cloth pouches, toys, jewellery, scarves, bookmarks, notebooks and greeting cards were produced in this way. Rings were made by punching buttons and dried berries were used as pendants. Miniature objects, carved from toothbrush handles, were used as lucky charms and souvenirs. Some objects, decorated with national or political symbols such as the French flag, the cross of Lorraine or the Soviet star also symbolised resistance to the Nazis.   <\/p><p>The women produced items for their own use or to cheer up their fellow prisoners. The handicrafts were given as presents on special occasions and as a sign of friendship. They were also coveted trading items. In some cases prisoners even used them to bribe members of the SS.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-890c72b e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"890c72b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7802b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"a7802b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTgzLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0yNi1zY2FsZWQuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1917\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-583\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-scaled.jpg 1917w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-1150x1536.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-26-1534x2048.jpg 1534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1917px) 100vw, 1917px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Doll in a traditional Spanish dress, summer 1944<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>Lise London (under the name \u00c9lisabeth Delaune in the camp), who was French, made this doll from scraps of fabric, wire and human hair.

However, she evaded this work as often as possible and went into hiding. Sometimes she feigned weakness or clumsiness in order to be thrown out of a detachment. She recorded her experiences in 1944\/45 in the operetta \u201c\u2018Available\u2019 in the Underworld\u201d, which she wrote while hiding in the looted goods barracks. To save her from impending selection, Margarete Buber-Neumann hid her under a duvet in the infirmary at the beginning of 1945.

Most Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, for example, refused to perform any sort of military work on religious grounds. The story goes that on 19 December 1939, 400 women refused to make bags for army sewing kits. As a result, they were punished for weeks, during which time they were beaten, detained in cells, deprived of food and forced to stand outdoors for hours. Some of the female Red Army soldiers sometimes refused to produce armaments, too, since these would later be used to kill their families and destroy their country.    <\/p><p>When the camp became overcrowded in 1944, a covert form of refusing work evolved: prisoners who were considered to be \u201cavailable\u201d \u2013 i.e. they did not belong to a fixed detachment and could be assigned any task, as required \u2013 went into hiding in the camp. In order to do this, they had to be prepared to get no regular meals, be persecuted by the SS or be betrayed by fellow prisoners. Others tried to escape work by pretending to be clumsy, deliberately injuring themselves or feigning illness.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fed315 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6fed315\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abb88f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"abb88f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTg3LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0yOC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2313\" height=\"1754\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-587\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28.jpg 2313w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28-1536x1165.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-28-2048x1553.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2313px) 100vw, 2313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Drawing by France Audoul for the operetta \u201c\u2018Available\u2019 in the Underworld\u201c, 1944<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>For the operetta, which Germaine Tillion had written secretly in the camp, this French artist drew this picture of three prisoners considered to be \u201cavailable\u201d.

Her one-year-old son starved to death there. When she was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck in August 1944 with her relatives and her fianc\u00e9 Anton Pranden, she passed his niece off as her daughter, thus ensuring the child\u2019s survival.  <\/p><p>Wanda Fischer opposed harassment by the SS in Auschwitz by making a wig using her hair which they had cut off, and it was only after repeated beatings that she eventually removed it. In Ravensbr\u00fcck, she managed to make contact with her fianc\u00e9, who was in the men\u2019s camp, through her work. They communicated in Romani, and although she was caught and punished, she tried over and over again.   <\/p><p>In January 1945, she was forcibly sterilized. Two months later she was sent to Mauthausen concentration camp and then on to Bergen-Belsen, where she was eventually liberated. Her fianc\u00e9 lived to see the end of the war in the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. They returned to live in Hanover. Wanda Fischer\u2019s applications for compensation were successful. Since 2012, the 13 members of the Fischer family are commemorated by \u201cstumbling blocks\u201d in Hanover.

Most of the approximately 20,000 male prisoners were put to work on expanding the camp complex and in armaments production. Since 1944, their numbers also included children and juveniles from the age of 12.  <\/p><p>In search of information on relatives or friends, the male and female inmates tried to establish contact. This usually came about at shared workplaces, for example at Siemens, in the industrial facility or during construction work at the women\u2019s camp. In some cases, couples even managed to meet face-to-face. In 1944, for example, Walter Winter, a Sinto, managed to meet his pregnant wife Bluma, who died in childbirth shortly afterwards.   <\/p><p>It was also possible to make secret contact in the prison camp since Frantisek \u0160il and Ladislav Pek\u00e1rek, Czech prisoners who were also doctors, were allowed to operate sick men from 1942 onwards and used treatment rooms in the women\u2019s camp for this purpose once a week. Some Polish women also managed to smuggle communion wafers to the men\u2019s camp so that they could celebrate Holy Communion there. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7105f1 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e7105f1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b53cf6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"b53cf6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTkxLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0zMC1zY2FsZWQuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1837\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-591\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-scaled.jpg 1837w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-735x1024.jpg 735w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-768x1070.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-1102x1536.jpg 1102w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-30-1469x2048.jpg 1469w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1837px) 100vw, 1837px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Drawing by Nina Jirs\u00edkov\u00e1, after 1945\n<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>After the war, the Czech artist composed a drawing of the view from the industrial yard of the women\u2019s camp towards the men\u2019s camp as she remembered it.

Health in Russia. After 1918, she turned her back on the Bolsheviks and married one of their opponents. In 1923, she emigrated with him to Paris, where she became involved in social work for the Russian Orthodox Church. After separating from her husband in 1932, she became a nun and subsequently founded an Orthodox aid organisation in 1935.   <\/p><p>During the German occupation of France, Mother Marija as she was known, provided assistance to Jews, Soviet prisoners of war and members of the French resistance. In February 1943, she was imprisoned for these activities and was transferred to Ravensbr\u00fcck in April of the same year. Mother Marija was an oasis of tranquillity and a beacon of hope for her fellow prisoners, holding political and spiritual discussions and praying together with them. She even cultivated close ties to the female Red Army soldiers. She was murdered in the gas chamber by the SS in 1945.    <\/p><p>In 1985, Mother Marija was honoured with the title \u201cRighteous Among the Nations\u201d at the Yad Vashem Shrine of Remembrance.

However, prisoners were neither allowed to own religious objects nor to practise their faith openly. The formation of groups was also forbidden. This meant that believers had to perform their common rituals in secret. Worship, masses and Bible readings were all held in the barracks. The women would pray together or discuss matters of faith during roll calls or free time on the camp road. Religious festivals and baptisms were celebrated solemnly but secretly. The women covertly acquired requisites such as Bibles, crosses or sacred images from the property storages facilities.

In preparation for the children\u2019s Christmas party in Ravensbr\u00fcck in December 1944, she wrote a fairy tale for the puppet show. <\/p><p>In April 1945, she fled from a death march.

They organised extra food, wax for candles and fir twigs, sang carols and gave each other presents. <\/p><p>In December 1944, inmates organised a party for the 500 or so children in the camp. Regardless of nationality, they collected food and made toys and clothes. The party highlight was a puppet show. Toni Bruha wrote a fairy tale \u201cLittle Hans in the Camp\u201d for the show; Kv\u011btu\u0161e Hnili\u010dkov\u00e1 and V\u011bra Hoz\u00e1kov\u00e1, from Czecho slovakia, made figures out of wax, cotton wool and fabric, while others made the backdrops. They rehearsed for the show after work \u2013 and then the SS found out. Surprisingly, commandant Fritz Suhren nevertheless allowed them to hold the performance. Edmund Br\u00e4uning, in charge of protective custody, gave a speech, and chief overseer Dorothea Binz was also present. The celebrations took place in a decorated barracks building, complete with Christmas tree. Former prisoners recall that the children\u2019s reactions were joyful, but rather reserved &#8211; the cruelty of camp life had left its mark on them. But these joint activities gave many prisoners the strength to continue.         <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6c93d5 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b6c93d5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e44ad7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"9e44ad7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTk5LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0zNC1zY2FsZWQuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1864\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-599\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-scaled.jpg 1864w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-746x1024.jpg 746w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-768x1055.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-1118x1536.jpg 1118w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-34-1491x2048.jpg 1491w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1864px) 100vw, 1864px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Ceija Stojka \u201ciN Ravenzbr\u00fck 1944\u201d, 1995<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>Ceija Stojka, a painter from Vienna, was sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp in 1944 at the age of eleven.

She was arrested in spring 1944, tortured, sentenced to death and deported to Ravensbr\u00fcck in June of the same year. Originally classified as being a \u201cVerf\u00fcgbare\u201d (available prisoner), she was at first forced to accept any work that was assigned to her before the SS transferred her to the Siemens production site in October 1944.  <\/p><p>Lidia Beccaria taught fellow prisoners history, literature and geography. She made sketches and secretly kept a diary. She learnt French from her fellow prisoner and friend Monique Nosley and noted down German \u2013 French vocabulary for her own use.  <\/p><p>She experienced the liberation while on a death march and spent the following months in a British DP camp for homeless refugees in L\u00fcbeck. In September 1945 she returned to Italy, where she resumed her work as a teacher. She married in 1948 and became mother to a son. In 1978, together with Anna Maria Bruzzone, she published the first-ever book about Italian women who had been prisoners at Ravensbr\u00fcck. Lidia Beccaria Rolfi was an active member of the Socialist Party and became deputy mayor of Mondov\u00ec. She had also been active in the International Ravensbr\u00fcck Committee since 1958.      <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

These activities took place in small clandestine groups that met in the barracks, during work breaks, roll calls or free time on the camp roads. The communist prisoners educated each other on political issues such as the progress of their party in the Soviet Union. Other prisoners taught literature, geography, history and science. Learning German was particularly important, since it was the only language that prisoners were allowed to use when writing letters home.    <\/p><p>Some Polish teachers organised a proper school system, including exams, for children and adolescents. There were programs for both primary and high school levels, as well as a preparatory course for the teaching profession. The required materials were either stolen from workplaces or produced by the inmates themselves. There had to be a lot of improvisation: pupils and teacher drew and wrote in the sand, and newspaper margins, packaging material and the reverse side of documents served as copybooks.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c84541 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1c84541\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6621e08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"6621e08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NjAzLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi0zNi5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2313\" height=\"2214\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-603\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36.jpg 2313w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36-1024x980.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36-768x735.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36-1536x1470.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-36-2048x1960.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2313px) 100vw, 2313px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">Home-made world atlas by Olga Benario-Prestes, 1941<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>For her atlas, Ms. Benario-Prestes, a German communist, either drew maps by herself or cut them out of the \u201cV\u00f6lkischer Beobachter\u201d magazine which she could obtain in the camp.

Her son was sent to live with relatives and her four-month-old daughter was initially sent to prison with her. Before Aat Breur was transferred to Germany, the infant was sent to live with its grandparents. Her husband was shot in 1943 and she was deported to Ravensbr\u00fcck. She first worked in the lavatory and gardening brigade as well as for Siemens. In 1944, she was sent to the bookbindery, where she was ordered to paint greeting cards for the SS. Here, she secretly produced small booklets for her fellow prisoners. Above all, however, she made drawings of camp scenes and portraits of women and children.      <\/p><p>In March 1945, the prison doctor, Ad\u00e9la\u00efde Hautval, and the block elder, Erika Buchmann, saved Aat Breur, seriously ill at the time, from the gas chamber.

Artistically active women were able to express both their own and their fellow prisoners\u2019 feelings and, by doing so, learned how to cope with these. At the same time, they documented the crimes at the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp in their texts, drawings and compositions.  <\/p><p>Prisoners wrote poems and stories and these were then read aloud, memorised and passed on. Two Czech women, Vlasta Kladivov\u00e1 and Vera Hoz\u00e1kov\u00e1, even compiled the manuscript for an anthology of poetry titled \u201cEuropa u boji 1939\u20131944\u201d (Europe at battle 1939\u20131944). Sometimes prisoners would dance in the barracks, sing songs or recite texts. Theatre plays were written and then per-formed, either secretly for each other or officially for the SS, for example Sonja Prin\u2019s adaptation of Shakespeare\u2019s \u201cA Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream\u201d, performed at Christmas 1944, and the operetta \u201cLe Verf\u00fcgbar aux Enfers\u201d by Germaine Tillion. Fellow prisoners pro-vided paper, pens and undisturbed places to write or draw.    <\/p><p>Very few of the artistic works have been preserved.

She joined the girl scoutes at an early age. Her father introduced her to art, and after leaving school she studied painting, first in Warsaw and later on in Vilnius.  <\/p><p>In 1940, she was arrested by the Gestapo for her role in resistance activities with the Association for Armed Struggle (Zwi\u0105zku Walki Zbrojnej, ZWZ) and was deported to Ravensbr\u00fcck via the prison in Lublin Castle. She was subjected to three operations on her legs as part of medical experiments. Despite all that she had suffered, she was active in the camps as an artist. She sang, recited poetry and carved figures, often from toothbrush handles.  <\/p><p>In 1945, she left the displaced persons\u2019 camp in Rotenburg (W\u00fcmme) and returned to her daughter in Lublin. In 1959, she accepted an invitation for all women who had been subjected to surgical experiments to travel to the USA. There she took a course in enamelling on which she later based her profession as a goldsmith in Lublin. For the most part Joanna Szyd\u0142owska remained silent about what she had experienced in the concentration camp.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 1942 and 1943, Karl Gebhardt, head physician at the Waffen SS hospital in Hohenlychen, carried out medical experiments on female prisoners at the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp. He wanted to prove that sulphonamide, an antibiotic, was ineffective against gangrene. 74 young women from Poland and twelve from other countries were chosen for the experiments. Some of these inmates had wide-ranging connections and tried to send information about these crimes to the world outside the concentration camp. They smuggled letters and documents out of the camp and gave them to Polish prisoners of war, who in turn were able to pass some of the documents on.    <\/p><p>In autumn 1944, Joanna Szyd\u0142owska, herself a victim of surgical experiments, photographed the injuries of three fellow prisoners a year after they had been operated on. The women had managed to acquire a medium-format camera in the camp to take the photos. It is said to have been subsequently burned. French ethnologist Germaine Tillion took the film roll, hidden in a tin of powdered milk, with her when she was liberated by the White Buses operation.

company in Remscheid. She escaped from there following a fire, was apprehended in Poland and sent to Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp on 11 November 1942 on the charge of sabotage. Starting in 1943, her job was to wind wire onto coils at the Siemens production plant. She produced some of these incorrectly, thus stalling the production of parts vital to the war effort. When this came to light in 1944, fellow prisoners Rita Sprengel from the Siemens office and Ilse Hunger from the labour assignment office arranged her transfer to the Neubrandenburg satellite camp.    <\/p><p>In April 1945, Nadja Kalnitzkaja managed to flee from a death march. Shortly afterwards, thanks to her good command of German, she was employed by the Soviet military authorities in Neubrandenburg. <\/p><p>After returning to Ukraine at the end of 1945, she worked as an economist. She later married a widower with two children and became a member of the Council of Anti-Fascist Resistance Fighters of Ukraine and the International Ravensbr\u00fcck Committee.

Sabotage during forced labour was mainly seen as moral resistance, especially as no one could determine the scale of its impact. At the same time, punishment for sabotage in armaments factories was particularly severe, so the prisoners\u2019 sabotage operations had to be especially careful and precise.  <\/p><p>One location at the focus of such activities was the Siemens &amp; Halske production centre for precision equipment, set up in Ravensbr\u00fcck in August 1942. Here, prisoners damaged tools, machine accessories and materials. They made parts \u201cdisappear\u201d, produced faulty parts, assembled devices incorrectly, delayed deliveries and manipulated administrative documents. By reducing their work pace, they were able to slow down production while at the same time obtaining some physical relief for their bodies, weakened by hard work. Prisoners also sabotaged production in the fur sewing workshop, for example by reducing the size of patterns for fur shoes and other army clothing.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5350bb4 e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5350bb4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccd1224 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rvnsbrck_image\" data-id=\"ccd1224\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rvnsbrck_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"rvnsbrck-image wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NjIxLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd2lkZXJzdGFuZC12b24tZnJhdWVuLXJhdmVuc2JydWVjay5kZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDRcL3Jhdi00Ni1zY2FsZWQuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1746\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-621\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-scaled.jpg 1746w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-698x1024.jpg 698w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-768x1126.jpg 768w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-1047x1536.jpg 1047w, https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/rav-46-1397x2048.jpg 1397w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1746px) 100vw, 1746px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck-image__info\" aria-label=\"Mehr Informationen anzeigen\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/widerstand-von-frauen-ravensbrueck.de\/wp-content\/themes\/ravensbrueck-theme\/assets\/info-btn.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong class=\"rvnsbrck_image__title\">\u201cSabotaged socks\u201d, undated\n<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"rvnsbrck_image__caption\"><p>Knitters at the SS-owned \u201cGesellschaft f\u00fcr Textil- und Lederverwertung mbH\u201d (Texled) sabotaged production by making knitted stockings too tight at the heels.
