With writing as powerful as that of Charlotte Delbo and Ruth Kluger, her story individualises and therefore humanises a victim of mass dehumanisation. Perl accomplished this by representing her life before imprisonment, in Auschwitz and other camps, and in the struggle to remake her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the first memoir by a woman Holocaust survivor and establishes the model for understanding the gendered Nazi policies and practices targeting Jewish women as racially poisonous. Perl’s memoir is also significant for its inclusion of the Nazis’ Roma victims as well as in-depth representations of Nazi women guards and other personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many important Holocaust memoirs, Perl’s writing is both graphic in its horrific detail and eloquent in its emotional responses. One of the memoir’s major historical contributions is Perl’s account of being forced to work alongside Dr. Josef Mengele in his infamous so-called clinic and using her position to save the lives of other women prisoners. These efforts included infanticide and abortion, topics that would remain silenced for decades and, unfortunately, continue to be marginalised from all too many Holocaust accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter decades out of print, this new edition will ensure the crucial place of \u003cem\u003eI Was a Doctor in Auschwitz\u003c\/em\u003e in Holocaust memory and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463352729836,"sku":"9781498583947","price":114.33,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781498583947-i-was-a-doctor-in-auschwitz.jpg?v=1775031382"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-bloomsbury-studies-in-jewish-literature.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
