Ravensbrück is located about two hours drive north of Berlin, and served as the Nazi regime's camp for women and girls.

A visit to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp concentrates on the oppression of women under the Nazis, and on the role of women in the resistance against the Nazis. Some of the prisoners were resistance fighters and women involved in espionage against the azi occupation in their homelands. It also discusses the incarceration of others, which represented the application of Nazi racial policies towards "non-Aryan" women; and the types of women deemed by the regime "a-social".

A visit to Ravensbrück is also, on the other hand, a journey to the culture of memory in the post-War Germanies.
