Concentration camps were instruments of discriminiation and segregation (and, eventually, instruments of extermination). Similarly, research on concentration camps and attempts at coming to terms with this part of German history have fallen prey to discrimination and stigmatization directed against certain groups of victims and survivors. This review introduces two new publications which aim to direct the readers’ attention to long neglected research topics. Both works put those who were persecuted and placed in concentration camps at the centre, rendering visible the experiences and stories of those who had been ignored thus far. Both books deal with the women’s concentration camp, Ravensbrück. Schikorra examines on the particularly difficult situation of those prisoners who had been categorised as “anti-social.” Amesberger and Halbmayer, on the other hand, focus on the fate of Austrian inmates.Downloads
