Ravensbrück: Life and Death in Hitler's Concentration Camp for Women by Sarah Helm
5.0
This is an incredibly important book, and I believe something more people should read. I was familiar with Auschwitz and other Holocaust crimes, specifically those committed against Jews. Yet this account is eye opening, casting a Light on women who were victims, Jewish and not Jewish. It was inspiring and powerful. It was eye opening and I am better for reading it.
Sarah Helm does a good job breaking up the story, by keeping chapters short and broken up into subjects. I appreciated the small bites she provided, while also making sure that she balances atrocities with stories of human resilience and female strength.
I highly recommend this book, its dense but readable and it's subject is so important as it gives voices to marginalized victims and survivors in the greater Holocaust narrative.
