- Summary:
- "This work presents the first English translation of Liri Xhunga's memoir. A teenage partisan fighter captured in battle and deported to the Nazis' infamous Ravensbrück camp for women, Xhunga composed this account of her own life under Albania's communist regime. The memoir offers rare insight into the Nazi camp system as experienced from the margins of Europe. This edition also includes testimonies from survivors Fatmira Sala, Katerina Andoni, and Petrina Nase, along with contextual essays situating their narratives within Albanian political history and memory practices. Albania's postwar isolation left its Ravensbrück survivors largely unacknowledged in international scholarship, but this volume brings their voices into broader historical conversation. At once deeply local and transnational in scope, the book highlights how women from the periphery of Europe endured the horrors of Nazi captivity, starvation, forced labor, and the constant threat of death not only through individual resilience, but by finding strength in each other."-- Provided by publisher.
