Slovenian Female Inmates in Nazi Concentration Camps
Documentary exhibition about Slovenian women who ended up in the Auschwitz and Ravensbrück concentration camps during World War II.
During World War II, around 21,000 prisoners were deported from the present-day Slovenian territory to the concentration camps of the Third Reich. It is estimated that about a quarter of them were women, the majority of whom were interned in the Nazi concentration camps of Ravensbrück and Auschwitz. The exhibition, prepared by Boris Hajdinjak (Center for Jewish Cultural Heritage Synagogue Maribor) and Dr. Monika Kokalj Kočevar (Museum of Recent and Contemporary History of Slovenia), tells the tragic fate of Slovenian female prisoners, many of whom did not survive.
