On 12 June 1942, 184 women of Lidice were loaded on trucks, driven to Kladno railway station and forced into a special passenger train guarded by an escort. On the morning of 14 June 1942, the train halted on a railway siding at the concentration camp at Ravensbrück. On their arrival the Lidice women were first isolated in a special block by the Nazis. The women were forced to work in leather processing, road building, textile and ammunition factories. The Friends of Barnett Stross are very grateful to our dear friend, historian and researcher Robert Porter for the above film which gives us all an insight into the life and death struggle endured by the women of Lidice during their time at Ravensbruck.
