The Ravensbrück perimeter wall and the TexLed textile factory barrack

View of the Ravensbrück camp perimeter wall with the TexLed barrack, the textile factory where prisoners were forced into slave labor. The black ground in the foreground and the dilapidated wall testify to the site degradation before restoration. TexLed (Gesellschaft fur Textil und Lederverwertung) produced Wehrmacht uniforms exploiting the slave labor of detainees. Working conditions were inhumane: exhausting shifts, malnutrition, and brutal punishments decimated the workers.
