Women
In her lecture, Dr Kathrin Mess focuses on the women of Luxembourg who were active in the resistance during the occupation of Luxembourg by Nazi Germany and were imprisoned in concentration camps and prisons as a result. Around 200 women from Luxembourg were imprisoned in the Ravensbrück women’s concentration camp alone. Many of them were murdered there or died because of the appalling conditions. The women came from various social classes, political camps, and regions of the country. They engaged in both individual and organised resistance against the Nazi regime. The lecture analyses numerous unpublished eyewitness accounts, letters and historical documents, and introduces women who, in their life story interviews, have recounted their resistance. The lecture aims to give these women a face and a voice.
