Ravensbrück Concentration Camp

Its main purpose was imprisoning and killing of women and children inconvenient to the Nazi regime. The killing, torturing, violent “medical” experiments, sterilization and raping of women from Ravensbrück in the concentration camp’s brothels are proofs of the unimaginable barbarity of the Nazi movement and its supporters..

Complementary concentration camp for children and men

In 1941, the camp was enlarged by a smaller section where men were imprisoned. The prisoners were especially used for working on military projects. In 1942, concentration camp Uckemark for children and youth was built near the main concentration camp.

Horrifying aftermath

130 000 prisoners were forced to come into camp between 1939 and 1945. The overwhelming majority of them died of exhaustion and cruel medical experiments. Ravensbrück Concentration Camp was liberated by the Soviet Army on April 30th 1945. The soldiers found only 2 000 beaten prisoners there as most of them died as a result of the torturing.
