Edited by: Dragana Stojanović Publisher: Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade Published: 2025 ISBN: 978-86-82324-95-9 Pages: 246 Co-Publisher: WHISC – Women in the Holocaust International Study Center, Givat Haviva Edition: Dispute Author(s)/Editors: Lily Halpert Zamir, Batya Brutin Share: More DetailsThe book emerged from a need to deepen the understanding of the dynamics of suffering and survival experienced by women during the Holocaust, as well as from a desire to further open up space for exploring women’s specific experiences within these historical circumstances. In this light, this edited volume offers ten chapters, framed by a prologue and an epilogue in which the editors provide contextual and thematic entry and exit points into and out of these highly sensitive areas of research. The book is divided into three broader sections. The first is dedicated to exploring the bodily and physical experiences that women endured during the Holocaust. The second focuses on the traces and testimonies women left behind through art, writing, diaries, and publishing activities during and after the Holocaust. The third section introduces the theme of resistance – both to the Holocaust itself and to its erasure from memory, while also emphasizing the importance of responsible remembrance of the women’s legacy related to the Holocaust.
