Different Horrors, Same Hell - Gender and the Holocaust (Paperback): Myrna Goldenberg, Amy Shapiro Different Horrors, Same Hell - Gender and the Holocaust (Paperback)
Myrna Goldenberg, Amy Shapiro
R822 Discovery Miles 8 220 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"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."

Myrna Goldenberg is professor emerita, Montgomery College, Maryland, and founding director of the Paul Peck Humanities Institute at Montgomery. Amy Shapiro is professor of philosophy and humanities at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Other contributors include Karen Baldner, Doris Bergen, Suzanne Brown-Fleming, Britta Frede-Wenger, Mary J. Gallant, Gaby R. Glassman, Dorota Glowacka, Bj rn Krondorfer, Rochelle L. Millen, and David Patterson.

"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""

Experience and Expression - Women, the Nazis and the Holocaust (Paperback): Elizabeth R. Baer, Myrna Goldenberg Experience and Expression - Women, the Nazis and the Holocaust (Paperback)
Elizabeth R. Baer, Myrna Goldenberg
R934 Discovery Miles 9 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

An innovative contribution to the field of Holocaust Studies, this set of interdisciplinary and interfaith essays undertakes a gendered analysis of women as victims, rescuers, perpertrators, and survivors, as well as their representation by postwar artists. Despite the fact that Holocaust Studies is now a mature field, the topic of women and the Holocaust remains underexplored. Women's voices have given rise to many powerful accounts of the Holocaust, and yet few researchers have analyzed these perspectives to learn what the horrifying events meant for women in particular. In Experience and Expression, the authors take on this challenge, addressing the experiences of both Jewish and non-Jewish women. The book opens with an introduction that provides a through overview of the current status of research in the field, followed by two essays that propose new paradigms for theoretical approaches to this topic. The anthology includes essays on particular women who have been little studied in English-language publications. The essays explore the roles (both helpful and harmful) of German nurses. Women's roles in the French resistance and the experiences of Roma and Sinti women are also discussed. Anne Frank's diary, long acknowledged as the seminal work on the Holocaust from a female perspective, is examined with a critical eye to expose the way that scholars have both used and abused their interpretations of this key text. The anthology concludes with analyses of postwar filmic, fictional, and artistic depictions of women in the Holocaust. The interdisciplinary scope of this work includes essays from the fields of English, religion, nursing, history, law, comparative literature, philosophy,French studies, and German studies. Sometimes painful, always well-argued and penetrating, the essays in this collection explore an array of experiences and provide a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of this significant area of study; each essay seeks to push the theoretical boundaries that shape our understanding of women's experience and agency during the Holocaust. This text will be invaluable for scholars, particularly those interested in the areas of Holocaust studies and women's studies, as well as for classroom adoption.
