Description
These powerful oral testimonies provide an important historical record of women's experiences during the Holocaust.
In Mothers, Sisters, Resisters, 25 survivors of the Holocaust furnish compelling and historically vital testimony that illuminates and explores Jewish women's experiences during that terrible period.
In entries that preserve each voice, personality, and style, survivors describe their efforts to evade Nazi laws and subsequent dehumanization, protect their children and siblings, and maintain their Jewish identity. Throughout each narrative, from Brandla Small's description of having her child dragged from her arms at Auschwitz, to Eva Schonbrun's remembrances of her sister who refused to leave her siblings and save herself, to Emilie Schindler's account of rescuing Jews left abandoned on a cattle car, we become intimately involved with each woman's struggle and eventual survival. We also gain a new appreciation and understanding of the Holocaust experiences unique to women.
