Plot Summary of God Remained Outside: An Echo of Ravensbruck
"Genevieve de Gaulle Anthonioz, niece of General de Gaulle, was a French Resistance fighter until captured and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. Although very active in public life, for fifty years she was unable to reveal what happened to her in the death camp. This is her story, in a few short pages, told simply and in the calm of mind that comes from the assimilation of deep suffering, recovery, and conquest of the temptation to hate."
Michael JR Jose, Resident Scholar
