"Different Horrors, Same Hell" brings together a variety of essays
demonstrating the breadth of contributions that feminist theory and
gender analysis make to the study of the Holocaust. The collection
provides new perspectives on central works of Holocaust scholarship
and representation, from the books of Hannah Arendt and Ruth Kl ger
to films such as Claude Lanzmann's "Shoah" and Steven Spielberg's
"Schindler's List." Interviews with survivors and their descendants
draw new attention to the significance of women's roles and family
structures during and in the aftermath of the Holocaust, and
interviews and archival research reveal the undercurrents of sexual
violence within the Final Solution. As Doris Bergen shows in the
book's first chapter, the focus on women's and gender issues in
this collection "complicates familiar and outworn categories, and
humanizes the past in powerful ways."

"The book's contributions come from a formidable, impressive,
and multigenerational group of Holocaust scholars. With its
interdisciplinarity and international perspectives, "Different
Horrors, Same Hell" will make important contributions to Holocaust
studies and, in particular, to scholarship about women and gender
in that context." -John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor
Emeritus of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College
"The voices vary widely, from the mystical to the strident, from
the autobiographical to the scholarly. Such diversity provides
texture to the anthology and makes the reading experience layered
and multifaceted. These essays break new ground in format and/or
subject matter, bringing gendered analysis to new levels of nuance
and insight." -Dr. Elizabeth Baer, author of "The Golem Redux: From
Prague to Post- Holocaust Fiction""
