Remembering Ravensbrück tells the story of the Nazi concentration camp where more than 150,000 women were interred. The opening of the "Remembering Ravensbrück: Women and the Holocaust" features remarks by Dr. Catherine Lewis, Director of the Museum of History & Holocaust Education, Maria Britt, Associate Vice-President of Operations at KSU, Dr. Jennifer Dickey, coordinator of Public History at KSU and Nancy York, a student co-curator of the exhibit.

Created by Dr. Jennifer Dickey’s Public History students in cooperation with the Ravensbruck Memorial Site, the panel-based exhibition focuses on the history of the camp, from its beginning in 1939 to its liberation in 1945, and highlights the stories of individual women – women who suffered in and survived the camp but also
of female guards who willingly implemented the Nazi Final Solution. The visually rich panels feature historic photographs, maps, and artwork created by the prisoners, a testament to the women’s spirit of survival.

A German-language version of Remembering Ravensbrück will be available online at www.kennesaw.edu/historymuseum.
