" Rachel Laments Her Children"--Representation of Women in Israeli Holocaust Memorials

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

SOME STUDIES BEGIN BY DELIBERATE intent, others by chance; to succeed, all must be fueled by a degree of scholarly curiosity. This study has its genesis in a chance reading of an editorial from the National Jewish Post and Opinion, commenting on Holocaust memorialization throughout the world. Lauding the plethora of Holocaust commemoration in the United States, the writer noted a relative absence of women being portrayed in Holocaust memorials. "Women comprised at least half of the victims of the Holocaust," she concluded. "Why then, should so few of them appear in its commemoration?"
