Drawing on historical and sociological arguments, it specifically looks at the experiences of men in France, Holland, Belgium, and Poland.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jewish Masculinity in the Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e starts by examining the gendered environment and ideas of Jewish masculinity during the interwar period and in the run-up to the Holocaust. The volume then goes on to explore the effect of Nazi persecution on various elements of male gender identity, analysing a wide range of sources including diaries and journals written at the time, underground ghetto newspapers and numerous memoirs written in the intervening years by survivors. Taken together, these sources show that Jewish masculinities were severely damaged in the initial phases of persecution, particularly because men were unable to perform the gendered roles they expected of themselves. More controversially, however, Maddy Carey also shows that the escalation of the persecution and later enclosure - whether through ghettoisation or hiding - offered men the opportunity to reassert their masculine identities. Finally, the book discusses the impact of the Holocaust on the practice of fatherhood and considers its effect on the transmission of masculinity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This important study breaks new ground in its coverage of gender and masculinities and is an important text for anyone studying the history of the Holocaust.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaddy Carey\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar who completed her PhD in History at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52622844559667,"sku":"9781350108486","price":93.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZmtEZ3c3SDhEQmVkV1h2bUc4SjRtUT09.webp?v=1761976710","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/jewish-masculinity-in-the-holocaust-between-destruction-and-construction-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
