Die Frauen von Ravensbrück (The Women of Ravensbrück) is a documentary film released in 2005 featuring interviews with survivors of the notorious women's concentration camps Moringen, Lichtenburg and Ravensbrück.
Director Loretta Walz spent 25 years asking women from Western and Eastern Europe not only about their experiences in Nazi concentration camps, but also about their entire lives. Her film won the Adolf Grimme Prize in 2006.
During the Second World War, more than 100,000 women from countries in Western and Eastern Europe were imprisoned in Ravensbrück. Tens of thousands died, and those who survived the camps, the threat of death, hunger and epidemics left lasting damage to their bodies and souls.
In the film, 48 women talk about the degrading arrival, the roll call, forced labour, medical experiments, sterilisations and hunger.
