What is Mothers, Sisters, Resisters: Oral Histories of Women Who Survived the Holocaust (Judaic Studies Series) about?

Provides an important historical record of womens experiences during the Holocaust In Mothers, Sisters, Resisters , twenty-five 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 Smalls description of having her child dragged from her arms at Auschwitz, to Eva Schonbruns remembrances of her sister who refused to leave her siblings and save herself, to Emilie Schindlers 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.
