Description

Jewish Masculinity in the Holocaust Between Destruction and Construction by Maddy Carey explores the impact of the Holocaust on Jewish men's gender identities. This study examines the evolution of Jewish masculinity during the interwar period, its disruption under Nazi persecution, and its subsequent reassertion. Carey draws on a range of sources, including personal accounts from survivors, to demonstrate how Jewish masculinities were severely damaged in the early stages of persecution, but later found ways to adapt. The book also considers the impact of the Holocaust on fatherhood and the transmission of masculinity. This important study breaks new ground in its coverage of gender and masculinities during the Holocaust, making it a valuable resource for anyone studying this period.
