Ravensbrück, a Nazi
concentration camp for women and children which was opened in May 1939. Situated 80 km. (50 mi.) north of Berlin, its victims were transported to it from all over Europe. It was built to house 6,000 prisoners, but by October 1944 it contained 42,000 from 23 nations. Of the estimated 133,000 sent to the camp, perhaps as many as 92,700 did not survive.
Odette Sansom was imprisoned in Ravensbrück and
Violette Szabo died there.
