The Missing History of Ravensbrück, The Nazi Concentration Camp for Women (Sarah Helm)
拉文斯布吕克失踪的历史，纳粹妇女集中营（莎拉·赫尔姆）
The story of the Nazis’ only concentration camp for women has long been obscured—partly by chance, but also by historians’ apathy towards women’s history.
纳粹唯一的女性集中营的故事长期以来一直被掩盖——部分出于偶然，但也因为历史学家对女性历史的冷漠。
Sarah Helm writes about the camp, where the “cream of Europe’s women” were interned alongside its prostitutes, and members of the French resistance perished alongside Red Army prisoners of war.
莎拉·赫尔姆（Sarah Helm）写到了这个集中营，“欧洲妇女的精华”与妓女一起被关押，法国抵抗运动成员与红军战俘一起丧生。
An excerpt from her book, Ravensbrück: Life and Death in Hitler’s Concentration Camp for Women.
