Description of Research:
My research addresses the neglect of female sexualities in Holocaust studies. Past research has focused on transgressive sexualities during the Second World War, however the predominant element has been male sexuality. A more comprehensive look at the female war experience is necessary, especially one that examines lesbianism in Nazi ghettos and internment camps. The segregation of and violence against Jews is a prime example of systemic abuses of power in the form of sexual supremacy that transcends time and geography. How this was experienced by women and shaped women’s intimacies in confinement, is an essential if underanalyzed part of this history.
