Barbara Schlichting asked Martha Hall Kelly:

The book sounds very intriguing. How come Ravensbruck is so seldom mentioned in history books? Was this prison mostly for women?

Martha Hall Kelly Ravensbruck was Hitler's only concentration camp for women (there was a small men's camp adjacent to it.) Most people know of the major concentration camps such as Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau, but the Nazis established many more concentration camps than some people realize. Between 1933 and 1945, they built about 20,000 camps including extermination camps, work camps and sub camps. Some have suggested that Ravensbruck has been overlooked for so long because male historians have focused on camps that imprisoned men.

Becky Aubrey asked Martha Hall Kelly:

When can we expect the prequel? I loved how you intertwined the lives of these women and how one small thing can change the lives of many. I gave it to my stepdaughter. She loved The Nightingale and I thought Lilac Girls was as good if not better. I am anxiously awaiting your next book.
