• The book reveals the many facets of the forced labor system and the specific conditions at Siemens in Ravensbrück.
• For the first time, the volume brings together texts by female forced laborers from Ravensbrück, translated from various languages, as well as contemporary illustrations and documents, thus making the views and experiences of the women concerned directly accessible to the reader.
• The academic introduction and the texts accompanying the chapters describe both the general frame of economic interests and war industry and the particularities of forced labor at Siemens.

The International Friends Association (IFK) supports and promotes the work of the Ravensbrück Memorial. The Association cultivates contacts to survivors and their relatives, restores and manages artefacts relating to Ravensbrück, and is committed to the preservation of the site, which was the largest women’s concentration camp in Germany. To this end, the IFK invites the participation of all people, irrespective of nationality, who share our view that memory is indispensable for understanding both our history and our present, and is important in shaping our future.
