Nanda Herbermann Livres

Set against the backdrop of WWII, the narrative recounts the harrowing experiences of Nanda Herbermann, a German Catholic writer arrested by the Gestapo for her activism. After enduring imprisonment in Ravensbrück Concentration Camp, she defied orders to remain silent by documenting her memories. Originally published in German in 1946, this English edition includes insights from Hester and Elizabeth Baer, who contextualize Herbermann's story within contemporary discussions on gender and the Holocaust, along with historical details about her life and the era.
