Sexual Violence Against Jewish Women During the Holocaust

Editors: Sonja M. Hedgepeth and Rachel G. Saidel

Using testimonies, Nazi documents, memoirs, and artistic representations, this volume broadens and deepens our understanding of Jewish women’s experiences of rape and other forms of sexual violence during the Holocaust. This anthology addresses topics such as rape, forced prostitution, assaults on childbearing, artistic representations of sexual violence, and psychological insights into survivor trauma. These subjects have long been relegated to the edges or completely left out of Holocaust history.
