Women of Exile: German-Jewish Autobiography since 1933

This is book describes the case of Jewish women who fled Germany after Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 and who found refuge in neighboring countries or abroad. Their memoirs, diaries, and letters paint a provocative profile of exile life and cover a broad spectrum of emigre history in every continent.

Whether the narratives assume a posture of remembrance, advice, inspiration, or commitment, the collection of recollections by these women who resisted to survive, launchesa radical reinterpretation of women’s roles, fates, and destinies.
