Niemi-Junkola Fanni
Ingrid/Irmgard tells the stories of two women, connected through their experience of a German concentration camp during the 1940s. They both recall the moments of their release; Ingrid Rabe speaks of being reunited with her mother. Irmgard Konrad recounts her escape from the ‘death march’ and the feeling of having her first proper meal after such a long captivity.
