Lixl-Purcell . . . has chosen twenty-six from the hundreds of
unpublished memoirs he researched. They are arranged in three
sections--Persecution and Displacement, Exile and War, and Exile in
Hindsight. Much of the power of their stories lies in their
matter-of-fact and straightforward telling of their fears, narrow
escapes, sorrows, and triumphs. There are narratives describing
women's social, cultural and political networks before and after
immigration, the isoilated struggles of individuals, their work as
legal or illegal aliens abroad, and their involvement with
underground resistance movements. American Library Book RevieW
Women's exile autobiographies, written usually for an audience of
relatives and fellow travellers, are rarely made available to the
public. This is particularly true for Jewish women who fled Germany
after Hitler's rise to power in 1933. In this unusual volume, the
memoirs, diaries, and letters of twenty-six of these extraordinary
women are published together for the first time. Their
recollections paint a provocative profile of exile life and cover a
broad spectrum of emigre history on every continent. While each
memoir voices an intensely personal explanation, their combined
effect is to launch a radical reinterpretation of women's roles,
fates, and destinies.
