Ravensbrück Memorial, World War II memorial site in Fürstenberg/Havel, Germany.
The memorial complex includes exhibition buildings, a crematorium, prison barracks, and a sculpture on the shore of Lake Schwedt.
From 1939 to 1945, over 130,000 women from 40 different nations were imprisoned at the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where many died from forced labor.
The bronze sculpture 'Tragende' at the lakeside represents the strength and suffering of women who were held in the concentration camp.
The memorial site contains multiple exhibition spaces that document the experiences of prisoners through photographs, letters, and personal belongings.
Female survivors created secret education programs within the camp, teaching languages and maintaining cultural activities despite extreme conditions.
