A fully bilingual (Japanese / English) catalogue for an exhibition of Gil Yefman, entitled "H," at The Container in Tokyo (www.the-container.com) The catalogue explores through writings and images the relation between sexuality and WWII and focuses on Block 24, an isolated unit in the concentration camp of Auschwitz that was used as a brothel, forcing female workers into sex-slavery. Gil Yefman is an Israeli artist exploring gender, sexuality, religion and the collective Jewish memory through a wide range of disciplines. His main medium of work is knitting, which he uses to produce complex, colourful, and child-like sculptures. His works are amusing and fun-like, while secreting potent and unforgiving themes. He has exhibited extensively in Israel and abroad. "H" is his debut exhibition in Japan. The Container, as the name suggests, is no more than a constructed shipping container (485x180x177cm), inside Bross hair salon in trendy Nakameguro, Tokyo. The Container, the brainchild of Tokyo-based curator Shai Ohayon, invites Japanese and international artists to make site-specific installations four times a year. Each installation remains on view to the public for two-and-a-half months.

Using testimonies, Nazi documents, memoirs, and artistic representations, this volume broadens and deepens comprehension of Jewish women's experiences of rape and other forms of sexual violence during the Holocaust. The book goes beyond previous studies, and challenges claims that Jewish women were not sexually violated during the Holocaust.
This anthology by an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars addresses topics such as rape, forced prostitution, assaults on childbearing, artistic representations of sexual violence, and psychological insights into survivor trauma. These subjects have been relegated to the edges or completely left out of Holocaust history, and this book aims to shift perceptions and promote new discourse.
