Silent and Embodied Agency
This article builds upon my previous research on silence and sexual violence in written works of female Holocaust survivors by exploring their oral counterparts in personal narratives from the Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive. In earlier analyses, I examined textual silence (moments of intrinsic unreadability) and figurative silence (narrative ellipses requiring interpretation) as forms of agency in navigating experiences of sexual viole…
Trees of Witness
Through the lens of contemporary ecopoetics, this article focuses on three post-Holocaust female authors who explore their Jewish-American identity through a poetic reflection on the Shoah and its aftermath that places nature at the heart of their narratives. This article examines Elizabeth Rosner’s connection to bodies of water in Gravity (2014), Cheryl J. Fish’s advocacy for environmental justice in The Sauna Is Full of Maids (2021), and Lyn Li…
Gendering the language of genocide
Exploring the Holocaust through a gendered lens, this article examines linguistic aggression against women in Nazi concentration camps. While extensive scholarship connects language to genocide, the imbrication between gender, language and genocide remains an under-researched subject. To further this discussion, I analyze female survivors’ memoirs to explore the processes of semantic deprecation through metaphorization. Relying on cognitive seman…
Revealing Silences
This paper intends to unravel the nexus between sexual violence and silence in textual and figurative silence in female Holocaust survivors’ writing. I will argue that these tropes allow authors to acknowledge and explore the nature of a gender-specific trauma. The sources under examination encompass Ruth Klüger (2001), Gisella Perl (1948), Judith Magyar-Isaacson (1990), Judith Dribben (1970) and Elzbieta Ettinger (1986), whose works significantl…
Performing to survive
Este artículo examina las formas en que la simulación, la mímica y el camuflaje contribuyeron a la supervivencia de los deportados y les permitieron subvertir la opresión nazi en el universo concentracionario. Argumento que la sociedad concentracionaria estaba permeada por comportamientos y acciones rituales, teatrales y simbólicas, que moldeaban la interacción social y las relaciones de poder de manera crucial. En este artículo, exploro la simul…
Intergenerational Transmission of Holocaust Trauma
Holocaust and trauma studies have significantly relied on survivors’ autobiographical writing. Countless survivors have felt morally compelled to bear witness, even though raising their voices constantly triggered traumatic memories. Consistent research throughout the decades, however, has revealed that Holocaust trauma is not only limited to survivors, but an ongoing event affecting their children as well. Many second-generation survivors, as th…
Turning Sorrow into Song
This article explores Elizabeth Rosner’s second-generation poetic rendition of the Holocaust, Gravity (2014), offering an insightful framework to further scholarship on the intergenerational transmission of trauma, examined through the lens of postmemorial poetry. I specifically concentrate on Rosner’s poetry of remembrance as it dwells on the role of language and silence in representing the vicarious experience of the Shoah. Through a sustained …
