About

In May 1943, a women’s concentration camp was founded in the confiscated Benedictine monastery of St. Lambrecht. In this sub camp of the concentration camps Ravensbrück and Mauthausen, 23 Bible Students were forced to perform hard labour. For the women who came from Austria, Germany, Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands, this SS work camp was the last station of a long odyssey through several concentration camps of the Third Reich. Anita Farkas reconstructed the history of the St. Lambrecht women’s concentration camp, including the life stories of the women who were persecuted there for religious reasons.
