From Normandy To The Hell Of Ravensbruck Life and Escape from a Concentration Camp Francis Pitard

These were the times and places where humans descended to a level lower than animals. Ravensbrck was one of those times and places where human dignity became an unimaginable luxury. This is a true story of prisoner 44667 and the routine horror that systematically denigrated and stripped 132,000 women of their humanity. It is the story of true love. The details are historically accurate. None of the characters are fictional.

Aline Virmoux and her husband were active members of the French Resistance. After three years of successful activities, they were caught in 1944 by the Gestapo. He was deported to Dachau. She was deported to the womens concentration camp of Ravensbrck.
