Holocaust was gender blind until recently no matter that gender as an analytical
category is vital in understanding mechanisms of discrimination. The pioneering
works scholars such as Ringelheim, Goldenberg, Weitzman, and Ofer approached the
question with theoretical zeal. This conference aims to focus on Jews in Central
Europe (excluding Germany and Austria</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">,
where these questions have already been discussed extensively</SPAN><SPAN

comparative interdisciplinary perspective defining common points for further
research in the field of arts, history, narrativity, representations and
