Description

The exhibition “Paths to Ravensbrück“ was dedicated to the memory of all of those forgotten women who were imprisoned, terrorized and murdered in Ravensbrück, the largest National Socialist women’s concentration camp; to the women who contributed to the resistance against an inhuman system; to the women who suffered from their experiences and often remained silent throughout their lives. The children and young people imprisoned in Ravensbrück who were victims of National Socialism were also remembered.

Die geplante Ausstellung ' Wege nach Ravensbrück' soll dem Gedächtnis all jener vergessenen Frauen gewidmet werden, die in Ravensbrück, dem größten nationalsozialistischen Frauenkonzentrationslager, inhaftiert, terrorisiert und ermordet wurden: den Frauen, die Widerstand gegen ein menschen-verachtendes System geleistet haben; den Frauen, die unter ihrer Geschichte gelitten und oft ihr Leben lang geschwiegen haben. Gedacht werden soll auch der in Ravensbrück inhaftierten Kinder und Jugendlichen, die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus wurden.
