Ravensbruck: Everyday Life in a Women's Concentration Camp

A kind of socio-anthropological study of life in the Ravensbruck concentration camp. I've never read another book like this, and it was an illuminating experience. Ravensbruck is not one of the better-known camps and there aren't many memoirs of survivors from there, but this book gives a very clear picture of what was going on inside the camp. Though obviously scholarly, it doesn't have the dreadful dry tone you find in many academic books, and it is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings of camp life.
