Emotional dissimulation in the holocaust
This article investigates Jewish teenage girls’ emotional journeys during the Holocaust. Examining girls’ diaries and memoirs, I explore their affective lives before the Holocaust, at the beginning of their countries’ occupation, in the ghettos, and at Auschwitz-Birkenau. I argue that girls widely practiced emotional restraint, which they had learned from their mothers before the Holocaust, for emotional management was a defining feature of Jewis…
Screams of Fear in Holocaust Soundscapes
Analyzing Holocaust victims’ diaries, memoirs, and interviews, this essay investigates the ways that Jews felt and exhibited fear.

It argues that daily conflict with distinct political overtones or undertones …

Recognizing the dramatic shift in the sociopolitical landscape, the German Communist Party ( Kommunistische …
