the exhibition. They were used to forge documents in the resistance movement. In cooperation with Siemens Mobility GmbH, 3D prints of small objects that Frenchwoman Hélène Fauriat made from plastic, wood or metal as a forced labourer in the Berlin-Schönefeld sub-camp were created. Visitors can touch and see them up close.
Survivors Lili Leignel, Marie Vaislic and Jean-Claude Passerat were present at the opening of the exhibition. While both women were deported from France to Ravensbrück as children, Jean-Claude Passerat was born in the camp as the son of a French resistance fighter.
The exhibition will be presented at the Ravensbrück Memorial until September and afterwards transferred to France. During the summer, the exhibition will be accompanied by a series of events organised in collaboration with the French Embassy. Furthermore, several Franco-German youth exchange projects will address the exhibition's theme in a regional context.
The curators of the exhibition "Resistance - Depressions - Deportations" are the director of the Memorial Andrea Genest, Mechthild Gilzmer specialist in Romance studies and the historian Hannah Sprute. The project was developed with the financial support of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
