Women of exile : German-Jewish autobiographies since 1933
A collection of extracts from 26 autobiographies by German-Jewish women on the Nazi period in Germany and the problems of emigration. The introduction (pp. 1-8) notes that Nazi brutality operated in a special way against Jewish married women, who "were singled out and targeted as mediators of Nazi policies"; for example, after "Kristallnacht" they were forced to secure emigration papers in order to obtain the release of their husbands from concentration camps. Mentions that in 1939 there remained in Germany 135 Jewish women for every 100 Jewish men, suggesting that more men fled abroad. Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-225) and index. x, 231 pages, 18 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 25 cm.
