Olga - Softcover
This is the story of Olga Benario, German Jew and Communist activist, trained by the Red Guard, who married the charismatic leader of the Brazilian Communist Party and who, after a failed uprising in Rio, was arrested and deported to Nazi Germany as a "gift" to Hitler. Her letters from prison, and her descriptions of her daughter and of the happiness she feels with her, reveal a woman of action and courage, now behind bars, expressing an intense and enduring love for both husband and daughter. Olga's short and dramatic life was an example of unwavering strength and determination in her commitment to the workers' cause and against social injustice, and later against the evil unleashed by the Nazis and their allies. She was murdered in Ravensbruck in 1942.

Olga Benario, German and Jewish, was one of the most remarkable Communist activists of the twentieth century. At the age of nineteen, she masterminded a daring prison raid to free her then-lover, the Communist intellectual Otto Braun. Together they escaped to Moscow, where they quickly rose in the ranks of the international Communist movement. At twenty-six, she was chosen to serve as bodyguard to the legendary Brazilian Communist guerrilla leader Luis Carlos Prestes, who has been brought to Moscow for training and will soon become her lover. Traveling under assumed names, they crossed Europe and North and South America to reach Brazil, where Prestes would launch a revolution against the Fascist regime. Within months, they were seized by police. After six months of tirelessly continuing her activism from within Brazilian prisons, Olga, now seven months pregnant, was classified as extremely dangerous and was deported to the Nazi Germany. She was subsequently sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, and in February of 1942, she was sent to her death in the gas chambers at Bernburg. Quantity Available: 1.
