After September 1939, with the beginning of the Second World War, concentration camps became places where millions of ordinary people were enslaved as part of the war effort, often starved, tortured and killed. During the war, new Nazi concentration camps for "undesirables" spread throughout the continent. According to statistics by the German Ministry of Justice, about 1,200 camps and subcamps were run in countries occupied by Nazi Germany, while the Jewish Virtual Library estimates that the number of Nazi camps was closer to 15,000 in all of occupied Europe and that many of these camps were run for a limited amount of time before they were closed. Camps were being created near the centers of dense populations, often focusing on areas with large communities of Jews, Polish intelligentsia, Communists or Romani. Since millions of Jews lived in pre-war Poland, most camps were located in the area of the General Government in occupied Poland, for logistical reasons.
My grandmother survived this concentration camp by escaping death march right before the end of the war. She was there for 4 years, she never fully recovered but surprisingly lived a long life. She never wanted to talk about it. It’s painful to watch but so important to never forget.
My grandmother was here. Her book "Flowers from my mothers garden" speaks about it
Excellent documentary. Somber, moving, and informative. It should be viewed and discussed in all high school history classes. I will be in Munich in October. Too many people don't know what I mean when I say I will be visiting Dachau while I'm there.
Thank you for educating me. Great work. Very well done!!!
Thank you so much for this excellent video: for the images of the art and craft works of the women, for not downplaying the enormity of the fact that Siemens still exists, and for that wonderful last sentence of the narration, connecting these awful events with the present day.
Thank you for this informative and moving video.
Good documentary altoug not precise in some aspects. The largerst group of prisoners ( 36 percent) in Ravensbruck was Polish.
Well done 👏.
