This book examines texts written about the Ravensbrück concentration camp between 1945 and 1989, predominantly by women, showing how East and West German narrative patterns about female concentration camp internment were established. Sina Meißgeier analyzes literary portrayals of political imprisonment, revealing that, even during the DDR, there were texts that demonstrated ruptures in the traditional antifascist myth.
