THE RAVENSBRUCK RABBITS: Brilliant Secretly-Coded Letters Written By Four Concentration Camp Inmates To Tell the World About Horrific Nazi Medical Experiments During WWII
All the letters contained secret, coded messages that were added to the
text by way of a simple but clever method: writing with urine. With
courage and daring, a small group of inmates managed to send out reports
about the crimes being perpetrated in the camp, particularly the
medical experiments carried out on them.Their underground activity not
only got the information out in real time – after the war it was used as
testimony in the trials of the officers and physicians who had abused
them. The letters, with their secret messages, have been on display
since 2017 in a Lublin museum. But who are the women behind the letters?
Interviews given by the former inmates, coupled with information from
Polish archives, shed light on their resourcefulness, methods of
operation and sheer audacity.
The 27 letters were hidden for decades. Stuffed into furniture in the home of Krystyna Czyz, they were found by her daughter only in 2010. All were written by Czyz and sent to her parents from the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany.

The four women who risked their lives to warn the world of Nazi atrocities is such a story.THE REMAINDER OF THIS INCREDIBLE STORY AND VIDEO HERE:
