Kuruluş
The Ravensbrück women's concentration camp was built in 1939 near Fürstenberg an der Havel. Until the liberation in April 1945, more than 120,000 women and children, 20,000 men, and 1,000 underage female youths of the so-called Uckermark youth protection camp were imprisoned there. The prisoners came from over 30 nations. They had to do forced labor in various areas, including in SS-owned companies and for Siemens. Their everyday life was characterized by hunger, mistreatment, and poor hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were murdered.
The Ravensbrück Memorial preserves testimonies and traces, promotes remembrance and research, and is also an active place of learning and meeting. International work camps take place every year on the former campsite.
