What did Jewish Women do? 7 Key-Terms to Keep the Memory of the Holocaust Alive

What did Jewish Women do? 7 Key-Terms to Keep the Memory of the Holocaust Alive To understand the evolution of the Holocaust memory around the Baltic Sea and the shifts in the Holocaust memory since 1989, this paper will address at least three questions: 1. What was the role of Jewish Women during the Holocaust? 2. How did the memory of Jewish women in the Holocaust change? 3. Are there key-terms keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive? In order to answer to these three questions, this paper adopts a particular analytical approach: it quickly revisits the postHolocaust sociology starting from the Collapse of the Berlin Wall (1989). Specifically, selected works of the Post-Holocaust Sociology of Gender and of Social Movements address what Jewish women did during the Holocaust. By reporting the sociological lens of Rachel Einwohner it demonstrates that Jewish women rendered possible the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. Finally, it will identify 7 essential terms, present in these post-Holocaust sociological works, that allow us to maintain the memory of the Holocaust in a constantly shifting society
