If This Is A Woman: Inside Ravensbruck: Hitler's Concentration Camp for Women is a 2015 book by Sarah Helm about the Ravensbrück Concentration Camp.
Yvonne Roberts of The Observer wrote that the book's "title powerfully echoes If This Is a Man".[1]
Background
Helm learned about the camp whilst writing about the British Special Operations Executive.[2] Helm visited various countries to conduct research, including France, Israel, the Netherlands, and Poland.[1]
Reception
Joanna Bourke in The Daily Telegraph wrote that the author "never sensationalises" the "viciousness" of female guards and does not show a reluctance to illustrate "the surreal horror that overwhelmed prisoners, particularly when they first arrived at the camp."[2] She rated the book five out of five stars.[2]
