Commemorative sculptures depicting emaciated women of Ravensbrück camp

A group of bronze sculptures depicts heads and busts of emaciated women, with faces hollowed by hunger and suffering. These commemorative works capture the resigned expression and empty gaze of Ravensbrück prisoners, reduced to mere shadows of themselves by camp deprivations. The sharp features, thin necks, and absent expressions testify to the systematic dehumanization carried out by the Nazi regime. The sculptures, arranged in a row as if at roll call, evoke the loss of individuality imposed on detainees.
