It also introduces a new perspective that may challenge today’s understanding of such basic concepts as resistance, compliance, defiance, choice, collaboration and cooperation. It thereby provides a missing element of what we must now see as an incomplete picture of Jewish life during the Holocaust.The conclusion of the article recalls that the most eminent chroniclers during the Holocaust were explicitly concerned with the issues that have been the focus of the daily lives of women, their involvement in their families, and their responses to the Nazi terror.We hope that after understanding the differences and similarities between the fate of Jewish men and women, an integrated social and cultural history of the Jews during the Holocaust will be written.Cairn free access
