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
R771 Discovery Miles 7 710 Ships in 12 - 17 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
R918 Discovery Miles 9 180 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.

Testimony, Tensions, and Tikkun - Teaching the Holocaust in Colleges and Universities (Hardcover): Myrna Goldenberg, Rochelle... Testimony, Tensions, and Tikkun - Teaching the Holocaust in Colleges and Universities (Hardcover)
Myrna Goldenberg, Rochelle L. Millen
R1,319 Discovery Miles 13 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Holocaust was a cataclysmic upheaval in politics, culture, society, ethics, and theology. The very fact of its occurrence has been forcing scholars for more than sixty years to assess its impact on their disciplines. Educators whose work is represented in this volume ask their students to grapple with one of the grand horrors of the twentieth century and to accept the responsibility of building a more just, peaceful world (tikkun olam). They acknowledge that their task as teachers of the Holocaust is both imperative and impossible; they must teach something that cannot be taught, as one contributor puts it, and they recognize the formidable limits of language, thought, imagination, and comprehension that thwart and obscure the story they seek to tell. Yet they are united in their keen sense of pursuing an effort that is pivotal to our understanding of the past-and to whatever prospects we may have for a more decent and humane future. A Holocaust course refers to an instructional offering that may focus entirely on the Holocaust; may serve as a touchstone in a larger program devoted to genocide studies; or may constitute a unit within a wider curriculum, including art, literature, ethics, history, religious studies, jurisprudence, philosophy, theology, film studies, Jewish studies, German studies, composition, urban studies, or architecture. It may also constitute a main thread that runs through an interdisciplinary course. The first section of Testimony, Tensions, and Tikkun can be read as an injunction to teach and act in a manner consistent with a profound cautionary message: that there can be no tolerance for moral neutrality about the Holocaust, and that there is no subject inthe humanities or social sciences where its shadow has not reached. The second section is devoted to the process and nature of students' learning. These chapters describe efforts to guide students through terrain that hides cognitive and emotional land mines. The authors examine their responsibility to foster students' personal connection with the events of the Holocaust, but in such a way that they not instill hopelessness about the future. The third and final section moves the subject of the Holocaust out of the classroom and into broader institutional settings-universities and community colleges and their surrounding communities, along with museums and memorial sites. For the educators represented here, teaching itself is testimony. The story of the Holocaust is one that the world will fail to master at its own peril. The editors of this volume, and many of its contributors, are members of the Pastora Goldner Holocaust Symposium. Led since its founding in 1996 by Leonard Grob and Henry F. Knight, the symposium's scholars-a group that is interfaith, international, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational-meet biennially in Oxfordshire, England. Contributors include Beth Hawkins Benedix, Timothy A. Bennett, David R. Blumenthal, Stephen Feinstein, Donald Felipe, Leonard Grob, Marilyn J. Harran, Henry F. Knight, Paul A. Levine, Juergen Manemann, Rachel Rapperport Munn, Tam Parker, David Patterson, Didier Pollefeyt, Amy Shapiro, Stephen D. Smith, and Laurinda Stryker.
