I Ran Away from the Death March
Libuše Nachtmannová spent more than three years in Ravensbrück. During that time thousands of women died from typhus there. The Germans finally had to start to vaccinate the prisoners, to avoid the epidemic. Some women did not believe it was really a vaccination and did not want to vaccinate themselves. Many of them died later. At the end of the war a death march was dispatched from the camp. In that time, the prisoners did not have to wear the striped prison uniforms, but casual civil clothes with a white cross on the front and on the back. When an order about the transfer came, Libuše Nachtmannová and her friends had already had their clothes prepared and painted the crosses with toothpaste. At one point during the march there was a chaos, those women crumbled the toothpaste away and in that moment the prisoners became the civilians.
