The commemorative Tragende statue by sculptor Will Lammert at Ravensbrück memorial

The monumental Tragende (Bearer) statue by German sculptor Will Lammert stands on Lake Schwedtsee at the Ravensbrück memorial. The work depicts a woman carrying the lifeless body of another woman in her arms, symbolizing solidarity among prisoners and the weight of shared suffering. The statue, several meters tall on a stone pedestal, dominates the commemorative area with the camp in the background. Lammert created this work in the 1950s as part of the site memorialization project.
