- Sub-Collection 4: RG-09.04, Ravensbruck Collection, April 1945
Ravensbruck was the largest concentration camp for women ever built in Germany. The first prisoners arrived in the spiring of 1941. The majority of the prisoners were Polish women not Jews. In 1945, when news reached the camp that Soviet forces were approching, the Nazis sent the prisoners who were well enough to leave on a death march. Ravensbruck was liberated on April 30, 1945. Soviet forces found only extremely ill women left at the camp.
The documents in this collection include photographs of the Ravensbruck concentration camp crematoria, execution passage, inside view of the prison corridor with the cells, and a transport from Ravensbruck to Auschwitz concentration camp.
