Join MHM Co-President Sue Hampel as she applies gender as a lens for looking at the Holocaust in this stimulating lecture. 

Different Voices: Women and the Holocaust will consider the ‘”female voice” to shed light on Jewish women’s experiences during the Holocaust by discussing three case studies:

The reaction and responses of Jewish women living in Nazi Germany
The coping strategies women employed in the ghettos and concentration camps
The heroism of female resistors

By examining diaries, documents and testimonies, Sue will assess the “double jeopardy” that Jewish women faced on a daily basis during the Holocaust.
