Ravensbruck Concentration Camp Memorial
Ravensbruck was the women’s and children’s concentration camp built in 1939. It became a place of terror, and like others a source of labour for German industry, here Siemens built a large camp to exploit the unfortunates. By 1944 equipped with a gas chamber, thousands died here in the last months of the war. A train ride (2 hrs) north of Berlin.
