Explorations in this volume extend to how communal and state-related concerns have intersected with the personal-in care for the elderly, birth control, white slavery, and burial, as well as in the recent entanglement of antisemitism and misogyny. Holocaust-related topics include gender-dependent perceptions of warfare; gender and pogrom violence; how impersonating diverse identities became a matter of survival; how the plunder of Jewish clothes engaged the bodies of both victims and bystanders; and how mass graves perpetuated a Jewish presence after the genocide. Other studies include how the Jewish body has been construed in fiction, ego-documents, and (queer) poetry, and how Jewish youth thought about sport. The volume concludes with four reflections on the embodied self. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369201381749,"sku":"9781802070385","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781802070385","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
