Experience a profoundly moving full-day visit to Ravensbrück with at least 4 hours on site. In 1939, the Nazis established a women’s concentration camp opposite a renowned spa town, where smoke from the camp was visible to guests. Over its six years of operation, more than 100,000 women from Germany and all occupied territories endured horrific treatment at the hands of SS guards, many of them women. Tragically, over 30,000 lost their lives due to disease, exhaustion, hunger, brutality, or were murdered in gas chambers, shootings, or through inhumane medical experiments. It was by far the largest concentration camp for women in the Nazi system. Unlike more frequently visited concentartion camp sites as Sachsenhausen or Auschwitz, Ravensbrück offers a more reflective atmosphere due to its size and relative quiet. The gender-specific history highlights aspects such as female guards, women’s solidarity, and children in concentration camps.
