Associate Professor of Comparative Literature (French and German) and Director of Gender and Women’s Studies Petra M. Schweitzer, Ph.D., has published the book, “Gendered Testimonies of the Holocaust: Writing Life.”
The book builds on work Dr. Schweitzer has done by hosting a Holocaust Studies conference on campus, teaching for the First-Year Seminar and Gender & Women’s Studies, and for other publications she previously produced. Schweitzer’s research focuses on the Holocaust, particularly women in the Holocaust.
According to its description, the book details how the works of certain survivors arise from a vigorous spark, which is the desire to preserve memory.
