The essay contest’s central theme revolves around amplifying the voices that were often marginalized and overlooked during that tumultuous period of history. It strives to bring attention to the unique experiences, challenges, and acts of resistance carried out by women in three European countries, who fought against the tyranny, discrimination, and persecution imposed by the National Socialist regime.
