Reviews

The book's contributions come from a formidable, impressive, and multigenerational group of Holocaust scholars. With its interdisciplinarity and international perspectives, Different Horrors, Same Hell will make important contributions to Holocaust studies and, in particular, to scholarship about women and gender in that context. John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College The voices vary widely, from the mystical to the strident, from the autobiographical to the scholarly. Such diversity provides texture to the anthology and makes the reading experience layered and multifaceted. These essays break new ground in format and/or subject matter, bringing gendered analysis to new levels of nuance and insight. Dr Elizabeth Baer, author of The Golem Redux: From Prague to Post- Holocaust Fiction
