The rose is a key motif, not just in the culture of
remembrance around the women’s concentration camp
Ravensbrück. Already during their imprisonment, the rose
played a significant role among the women prisoners:
whether in drawings, poems, embroidery or on secretly-made
greetings cards, the rose appeared everywhere. It was seen
as a sign of friendship, of hope and inner resistance.
This book gathers the images and stories regarding roses
that originated in Ravensbrück before and after 1945. It covers
the genesis of the French Ravensbrück Rose “Résurrection”,
rituals of commemoration, traditions in religious and cultural
history as well as iconographic considerations on the motif
of the rose and barbed wire.
