Spots of Light - To Be a Woman in the Holocaust: lecture

Abstract

Within the international online conference "The Voice of Woman in Frozen Silence" which was held on January 26, 2021, in Novi Sad, Sheryl Ochayon, Project Director of “Echoes and Reflections” at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, spoke about women’s experiences in the Holocaust. The final outcome was the same for Jewish men and women - certain death in camps, but the path to that outcome was different. Over time, particularly, in the ’90s, it started to be understood that gender studies and studying what happens to women, specifically in the Holocaust, could lead us to have a much more nuanced and fine understanding of the human experience in the Holocaust.

U okviru međunarodne onlajn konferencije "Glas žene u ledenoj tišini" koja je održana 26. januara 2021. godine u Novom Sadu, Šeril Očajon, direktor obrazovnog programa "Odjeci i odrazi" u Jad Vašemu u Jerusalimu, govorila je o iskustvima žena u Holokaustu. Istakla je da je krajnji ishod bio isti i za jevrejske muškarce i žene - sigurna smrt u logorima, ali put do tog ishoda bio je različit. Tokom vremena, posebno 1990-ih, došlo se do spoznaje da rodni studiji i istraživanja o tome šta se desilo ženama, posebno za vreme Holokausta, mogu doprineti mnogo nijansiranijem i istančanijem razumevanju ljudskih iskustava za vreme Holokausta.
