After the Nazi-Soviet Pact, Buber-Neumann was handed over to the Nazi Gestapo along with many other KPD members whom Stalin had sent to the GULAG. After her return to Germany, Buber-Neumann was imprisoned by the Nazis in Ravensbrück concentration camp, but survived to write her memoirs of both the GULAG and the Nazi death camps. After her release, Buber-Neumann spent the remainder of her life as an outspoken believer in the moral equivalency of Naziism and Communism. She died in 1989, just days before the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
