New York Times bestselling author, historian and White House correspondent Lynne Olson's new book The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück tells of defiance in a notorious women-only Nazi concentration camp.
Already well-practiced in sabotaging the Nazis in occupied France, this tight-knit group of French women joined forces in the camp to defy their German captors and keep one another alive, including staging a music show to keep spirits up.
Ravensbrück became widely known thanks to Martha Hall Kelly's bestselling novel Lilac Girls. It was a site of horror and brutality, and also a place of bravery, defiance, and mutual aid.
Olsen's book takes us beyond the confines of the camp to the group's continued efforts for freedom and justice in post-war years.
