“…We know, for example, of young girls who joined revolutionary movements who were rejected, ostracized, and even mourned by their families (Blatman 1998, p. 69). While it is clear that the absolute numbers available are painfully small, and scarcely allow any generalization, their main value is in that they are in line with the impressions provided by memoirs and historical case studies (see Baumel 1998 on the specific experience of Orthodox women in the Holocaust, also Baumel 1999) .…”

This study explores the formation of a political generation of Jewish women in interwar East Europe. Based on questionnaire data obtained from the Survivors of the Ravensbrueck Concentration Camp for Women and on secondary historical materials, it applied Mannheim's theory of political generations and the conditions for the formation of ''generational units'' under the impression of ''fresh contact'' in order to examine the role of class, education, and religiosity in the formation of political generations. Under the specific socio-historical circumstances analyzed, it is argued that Jewish women who came of age in interwar East Europe formed, perhaps for the first time a distinct political generation, as evidenced by high rates of political participation and assimilation into the thriving secular nationalistic culture of their time.

“…Overleefden ze de selectie, dan waren de omstandigheden door het nazi-geïnstitutionaliseerde seksisme zo slecht dat zij dit niet overleefden. 6 In de goelagstudies werden vergelijkbare conclusies getrokken. Een belangrijk werk in dit onderzoeksveld is Survival as Victory van Oksana Kis uit 2022.…”

“…We see the rise of strains of feminism coincide with the rise of feminist theories and Maya Camargo-Vemuri analyses of the Holocaust, particularly when we look at the rise of the third wave of feminism in the 1990s. Scholars such as Susan Jeffords (1991) and Judith Baumel (1999) performed early research into the topic, making way for the boom in research that was ushered in with the new millennium. If research exists on the topic today, it is only because of efforts to support the feminist theory in academia and the efforts of early scholars in the topic to revisit questions of gender in the Holocaust.…”

“…Rape is, quite often, the most common type of sexual violence that occurs in genocide, and the Holocaust is no exception to this (Burds 2009;Herzog 2009;Baumel 1999;Jeffords 1991). However, in the case of the Holocaust and World War II, there were multiple sides perpetrating rape, depending on location and year.…”

Bringing into focus the ways of how to approach trauma instead of defining the object of research is becoming increasingly important. This also indicates that the range of approaches to trauma that informs cultural inquiry is widening, and is moving away from one singular paradigm posited as universal. Trauma scholars have demonstrated, on the one hand, the importance of particular experiences, specific cases, individual features of experiencing, remembering, and narrating trauma. On the other hand, they have pointed out the impact of cultural "scripts" shaped by broader cultural understandings and social and cultural regulations and preferences that shape the possibilities of the representation of traumatic experience. This special issue seeks to recognize and negotiate the individual and collective dimensions of trauma as well as their interwovenness, with a focus on the (post)-Soviet and Eastern European experience. It does so by addressing the generalizing theoretical models as well as the practical, material, and experimental aspects of trauma. Thus, it seeks to disentangle and clarify the links between the collective and the individual, the theoretical and the practical, and finally, the universal and the specific, the global and the local.
