The Camp Women

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the often-overlooked female SS guards, this comprehensive resource examines their roles in concentration camps, particularly at Ravensbrück. It highlights how these women, considered auxiliaries rather than true SS members, inflicted significant suffering on victims, sometimes even more so than their male counterparts. The book utilizes extensive archival research to catalog these guards, details their recruitment and training, and discusses postwar trials. Additionally, it includes photographs and maps to enhance understanding of their impact in the Nazi regime.
