Caroline Ferriday

Caroline Ferriday's humanitarian efforts after WWII are historic and largely unknown.   

During World War II the horrific treatment of the Jewish population in concentration camps claimed the lives of millions. One such concentration camp was Ravensbruck, an all female concentration camp in Germany.   At the camp, a group of women endured brutal medical experiments.  Caroline fought to help the survivors of the Ravensbruck concentration camp by bringing them to America for treatment.  Here is another article that exposes the story of the Rabbits of Ravensbruck and how Caroline Ferriday helped them.  If you are interested in this story I recomend you read historical fiction novel Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly.
