Women in the Holocaust.

The Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial's exhibit is the first international exhibit created to focus solely on the lives of women in the Holocaust:

More than 3 million women, including girls, are thought to have died in the Holocaust. Women of child-bearing age were the Nazis' main target in their quest to annihilate world Jewry. The exhibit includes both survivors and those who perished in the genocide.
...
In the ghettos and camps, women tried to maintain basic hygiene in extreme conditions and did what they could to scrounge for money to feed their children.

The exhibit consists mostly of text and photos, which contrast sharply with the multidimensional and extraordinary stories of the women. Their stories are told through letters, diaries, artwork, book excerpts and some personal artifacts.

Included in the display is a letter written by an Auschwitz prisoner to her husband, also an Auschwitz prisoner, as she waited to be taken to the gas chamber.

"You've been the greatest happiness of my life, and I would gladly give my life to save yours," the letter says. "Thank you darling with all my heart for the devotion, love and joy you've given me. Always remain what you are, the greatest unbreakable hero. I shall think of you and pray for your safety until my last breath."
