Descrizione
Draws from survivors' autobiographies to reveal how Jewish women used female-gendered behaviours as strategies for survival within concentration camps. She elucidates some of the differences between male and female responses to the "divide and conquer" approach used by the Germans, as they attempted to pit prisoners against each other through meager food rations and inadequate supplies.
