This might be a strange request, but Jen's elder daughter is doing the History Day competition, and she and her partner have moved on to the city-wide competition. Their subject is Women in the Holocaust, with a focus on the Ravensbruck concentration camp. They need to locate either a person to interview (via phone or e-mail) who has expertise on the camp or knew a relative who was there - does anyone here have a connection to Ravensbruck? If so, would you be willing to help two enthusiastic high school sophomores?

They've e-mailed a few scholars, but a personal connection might help them find the documentation they need a little more quickly.

I'm afraid I can't help you -- but hooray for History Day!!! I was a regional and state judge for several years. Good luck to them!

Eee, I know. We went to their high school presentation and were blown away. And they have a documentary category now! We are enthusiastic supporters, let me tell you.

It's very hard to just give ideas and guidance and not DO ALL THE RESEARCH OMG. :-P
