Particularly shocking were the medical experiments performed on some of the inmates. Ravensbrück was atypical in other ways as well, not just as the only all-female German concentration camp, but because 80 percent of its inmates were political prisoners, among them a tight-knit group of women who had been active in the French Resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlready well-practiced in sabotaging the Nazis in occupied France, these women joined forces to defy their German captors and keep one another alive. The sisterhood's members, amid unimaginable terror and brutality, subverted Germany's war effort by refusing to do assigned work. They risked death for any infraction, but that did not stop them from defying their SS tormentors at every turn--even staging a satirical musical revue about the horrors of the camp. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter the war, when many in France wanted to focus only on the future, the women from Ravensbrück refused to allow their achievements, needs, and sacrifices to be erased. They banded together once more, first to support one another in healing their bodies and minds and then to continue their crusade for freedom and justice--an effort that would have repercussions for their country and the world into the twenty-first century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynne Olson\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eEmpress of the Nile\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMadame Fourcade's Secret War, Last Hope Island, Those Angry Days, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCitizens of London\u003c\/i\u003e.
