The following article "Regained faith in people" summarizes the issue of medical experiments conducted on 74 polish women in Ravensbrück concentration camp. It presents victims' lives after the war. The canvas for the article was a social initiative, dubbed by the editors and readers of the weekly The Saturday Review as Ravensbrueck Lapins Project. The project came to life thanks to American citizens, who in the years 1958-1959, on their own initiative, organized and funded the medical treatment in the United States for thirty one Polish victims on whom German doctors conducted experiments in the concentration camp in the years 1942-1943. In particular, the victims struggle to get compensation from the German government after WWII, may interest readers. Originally, the article was written in polish and published in Glaukopis in 2007. The author is aware of some shortcomings of the article's content, thus he would appreciate any comments and suggestions in the matter.  The author's e-mail address is: jarek.g@utoronto.ca. Thank you.
