Summary
  1. A biography of the German Jewish communist activist Olga Benário Prestes. Together with her husband, Brazilian communist leader Luis Carlos Prestes, she planned a communist revolution in Brazil. They were arrested in Brazil, and Olga was deported to Germany, into the hands of the Gestapo. Pp. 175-228 relate her experiences in prison (where she gave birth to a daughter) and in concentration camps, where she was treated severely as both a communist and a Jew. She died in a transport from Ravensbrück to Bernburg, a killing center.
