3 February 1947, Hamburg. After weeks of testimony revealing the brutality of Ravensbrück—the largest concentration camp for women in Nazi Germany—sentences are delivered. Among those condemned is Elisabeth Marschall, the camp’s head nurse.

This documentary traces her path from a trained nurse to a figure within the Nazi system, shaped by propaganda, ideology, and opportunity.

At Ravensbrück, more than 130,000 women were imprisoned and over 90,000 perished. The camp was a site of forced labor, brutal medical experiments, and selections that determined life or death. As head nurse, Marschall was involved in the camp’s medical system and prisoner selections.

The film also explores the post-war trials, where former staff were brought before a British military tribunal.
