商品簡介
In a feminine approach to Holocaust studies, Dublon-Knebel (German history, Tel Aviv U., Israel) presents the product of an Israeli-German team of female historians and sociologists on Jewish inmates of the Ravensbruck concentration camp in Nazi Germany, the only major one built specifically for women. This camp, lacking a comprehensive history until recently, is considered a crossroads in terms of Nazi focus on gender, and interactions between Jewish and non-Jewish women, inmates and nearby German residents, and Jewish prisoners and the Swedish Red Cross. The book features personal accounts of survivors and a victim, analyses of the system (including the external labor camp at Malchow), and data on camp prisoners from 1939-1945.
