Book Description
A study of Holocaust literature by women, most of them Jewish, based on five memoirs and one novel: Gerda Klein's "All but My Life" (1957), Charlotte Delbo's "None of Us Will Return" (1965), Judith Dribben's "A Girl Called Judith Strick" (1970), Susan Fromberg Schaeffer's novel "Anya" (1974), Fania Fenelon's "Playing for Time" (1976), and Livia Bitton Jackson's "Elli" (1980). Examines experiences specific to women in concentration and labor camps, varieties of characterization in the texts, relations between male and female internees, and factors which contribute to textual authenticity.
