Description

The present volume contains thirteen articles based on work presented at the “XX. Century Conference: If This Is A Woman” at Comenius University Bratislava in January 2019. The conference was organized against anti-gender narratives and related attacks on academic freedom and women’s rights currently all too prevalent in East-Central Europe. The papers presented at the conference and in this volume focus, to a significant extent, on this region. They touch upon numerous points concerning gendered experiences of World War II and the Holocaust. By purposely emphasizing the female experience in the title, we encourage to fill the lacunae that still, four decades after the enrichment of Holocaust studies with a gendered lens, exist when it comes to female experiences.

Author Biography:

Denisa Nešťáková holds a PhD in history. Her main interest is the history of the Holocaust and gender studies in East-Central Europe. She is an external researcher at Comenius University, Bratislava, where she is working on her postdoctoral project “Women and Men in the Labor Camp Sereď, Slovakia.” As a research associate at the Herder Institute, she focuses on the history of family planning in Czechoslovakia. Katja Grosse-Sommer is a PhD student at the University of Hamburg. She holds a master's degree in Holocaust and Genocide studies from the University of Amsterdam and is a graduate of the Paideia Jewish Studies Program. She has been involved in organizing various conferences, events, and exhibitions related to National Socialist persecution and its remembrance. Her research focuses on Holocaust memory and commemoration, and modern Jewish history. Borbála Klacsmann received a master’s in history from Eötvös Loránd University and a master’s in comparative history with a specialization in Jewish studies from Central European University (2012). Since September 2015 she has been a doctoral student at the Department of History at the University of Szeged and a member of the Hungarian research group of Yad Vashem. Her work centers on the Holocaust and its aftermath in Hungary. Jakub Drábik is a historian mainly interested in comparative fascism studies, but covers a broad range of twentieth-century history topics in his research and teaching. He completed his doctorate at Charles University in Prague in 2014, and since 2016 has worked at the Institute of History, Slovak Academy of Sciences, and taught at Masaryk University in Brno.
