By combining gender theory with a thorough analysis of a wide range of sources, this study makes an important contribution to the still under-researched topic of masculinity in both Jewish history and Holocaust history. * Kim Wünschmann, DAAD Lecturer in Modern European History, University of Sussex, UK * A study that hones in on the experiences of Jewish men during the Holocaust as a 'gendered experience' is long overdue, and Maddy Carey's work fills this lacuna. Skillfully, and with a firm grasp on gender theory, she offers a rich and nuanced picture of how Jewish men negotiated their roles at home and in public at the onset of the Holocaust and during their enclosure in the ghettos. Wisely, Carey limits herself to four specific countries. Her original analysis will surely open the doors for more studies to follow that analyze Jewish men's experiences in other places and circumstances. The book ends with a compelling chapter on young Jewish men writing about their fathers during the Shoah. * Björn Krondorfer, Director of the Martin-Springer Institute and Endowed Professor of Religious Studies, Northern Arizona University, USA *
