Reviews

Saidel's goal is to make visible a previously ignored aspect of women's Holocaust history.... In bringing to light the experiences of the women of Ravensbruck concentration camp, Saidel adds to our knowledge of Jewish survival in the genocidal conditions created by the Nazis. - Rochelle G. Ruthchild, Women's Review of Books ""Thanks to Rochelle Saidel's sensitive interviews and meticulous research, together with the many previously unpublished photographs and haunting drawings by the inmates, this book will increase public recognition of Ravensbruck's victims and survivors. With this, The Jewish Women of Ravensbruck Concentration Camp takes its honorable place in the growing genre of gender study of the Holocaust."" - Eetta Prince-Gibson, Jerusalem Post ""Brings to light for the first time the stories of the Jewish women who were imprisoned in Ravensbruck."" - Ruth Almog, Haaretz
