Black and green triangles: the persecution and reception of a group of asocial and criminal prisoners using the example of women deported to Ravensbrück from Czech territory

Summary/Abstract: The author of the paper focuses her attention on so-called asocial and criminal prisoners deported from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to the Ravensbrück women’s concentration camp. The first part explains the ideological bases and practical steps that led in the Third Reich, with some legal modifications, to the gradual systematic internment and subsequent deportation of so-called asocial individuals and habitual criminals to concentration camps. In view of the feminine theme of the study, a separate chapter is devoted to the persecution of prostitutes. The second part focuses on the everyday lives of the groups of prisoners in question in Ravensbrück, their standing in prison society and their depiction in the memoirs of fellow internees. The conclusion delivers short explorations of the lives of a number of women that highlights the real practice of the authorities’ treatment of these social groups on the territory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
