Located about fifty miles north of Berlin, Ravensbruck was the only major Nazi concentration camp for women. During its six years of operation, there were a total of about 20,000 Jewish women in the camp. Reclaiming the lost voices of the victims and the personal accounts of the survivors, here is the story of daily camp life with the women's thoughts about food, friendships, fear of sexual abuse, hygiene issues, slave labor, resistance, and, most importantly, staying alive.

Saidel's goal is to make visible a previously ignored aspect of women's Holocaust history.... In bringing to light the experiences of the women of Ravensbruck concentration camp, Saidel adds to our knowledge of Jewish survival in the genocidal conditions created by the Nazis. - Rochelle G. Ruthchild, Women's Review of Books ""Thanks to Rochelle Saidel's sensitive interviews and meticulous research, together with the many previously unpublished photographs and haunting drawings by the inmates, this book will increase public recognition of Ravensbruck's victims and survivors. With this, The Jewish Women of Ravensbruck Concentration Camp takes its honorable place in the growing genre of gender study of the Holocaust."" - Eetta Prince-Gibson, Jerusalem Post ""Brings to light for the first time the stories of the Jewish women who were imprisoned in Ravensbruck."" - Ruth Almog, Haaretz
