Description for Holocaust Mothers and Daughters - Family, History, and Trauma
Paperback. An astonishing analysis of Jewish mother-daughter relations before, during, and after the Shoah as described in daughters' memoirs Num Pages: 392 pages. BIC Classification: JFSR1. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 156 x 26. Weight in Grams: 617.
In this brave and original work, Federica Clementi focuses on the mother-daughter bond as depicted in six works by women who experienced the Holocaust, sometimes with their mothers, sometimes not.

Reviews for Holocaust Mothers and Daughters - Family, History, and Trauma
Do daughters feel differently about their mothers in situations of extremity, such as war or genocide? In this illuminating study of six autobiographical works by Jewish Holocaust victims or survivors, Federica Clementi shows that their mother-daughter relationships follow some of the same complex, ambivalent, contradictory, and ultimately devastating trajectories that characterize those in ordinary times. Yet in giving space and ... Read more
