Jewish Women Prisoners of Ravensbruck: Who Where They? Judith Buber Agassi This is the story of a nearly forgotten chapter of the Holocaust - of over 16,000 Jewish women, girls and children, their origins, itineraries and fates, who suffered in the horrendous Nazi concentration camp for women, Ravensbruck. As a historian, Judith Buber Agassi was struck by the changing conditions, countries of origin, and fates of these women during 5 distinct periods during the 6 years of the camp's existence. As a sociologist, she studied the social relations of the Jewish prisoners among themselves as well as with the non-Jewish majority. After the mass murder of Jewish prisoners early in 1942, a larger group organization became impossible, but the Jewish women developed a special and effective form of small-group organization, the so-called camp-families. As a sociologist of gender, she surveyed the educational background and patterns of behavior specific to Jewish women, and has produced an impressive study. Judith Buber Agassi is a comparative historical sociologist, as well as a sociologist of gender and of work. She has taught at universities in Hong Kong, the United States, Israel, Germany, and Canada. She has published six other books, edited or co-edited three more and made over fifty contributions to the learned press. She lives in Herzliya, Israel.
