Two bronze statues depicting nude women stand before the perimeter wall of Ravensbrück camp, reflected in the surrounding water mirror. The figures, with emaciated bodies and empty gazes, commemorate the suffering of the camp prisoners. The brick wall behind them, with its characteristic electrical insulators, marked the camp perimeter where detainees were forced into hard labor. The memorial invites reflection on denied human dignity and the resistance of interned women.
