Ravensbr©ơck : life and death in Hitler's concentration camp for women / Sarah Helm. Life and death in Hitler's concentration camp for women. New York : Anchor Books, 2015. ©2014. xxiv, 743 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 709-721) and index. Library Journal Starred, March 2015. Pub Weekly, February 2015. New York Times, April 2015. Kirkus Review, January 2015. For decades the story of Ravensbr©ơck was hidden behind the Iron Curtain, and today it is still little known. Using testimony unearthed since the end of the Cold War and interviews with survivors who have never talked before, Sarah Helm has ventured into the heart of the camp, demonstrating for the reader in riveting detail how easily and quickly the unthinkable horror evolved. Far more than a catalog of atrocities, however, Ravensbr©ơck is also a[n] ... account of what one survivor called 'the heroism, superhuman tenacity, and exceptional willpower to survive.' For every prisoner whose strength failed, another found the will to resist through acts of self-sacrifice and friendship, as well as sabotage, protest, and escape.
