HOLOCAUST MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: FAMILY, HISTORY, AND TRAUMA

Book ID/图书代码： 13568515B79913

English Summary/英文概要： In this brave and original work, Federica Clementi focuses on the mother-daughter bond as depicted in six works by women who experienced the Holocaust, sometimes with their mothers, sometimes not. The daughters’ memoirs, which record the “all-too-human” qualities of those who were persecuted and murdered by the Nazis, show that the Holocaust cannot be used to neatly segregate lives into the categories of before and after. Clementi’s discussions of differences in social status, along with the persistence of antisemitism and patriarchal structures, support this point strongly, demonstrating the tenacity of trauma—individual, familial, and collective—among Jews in twentieth-century Europe.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部大胆的原创作品中，费德里克•克莱蒙蒂将目光聚焦在经历了犹太大屠杀的女性作家们所著的六部描写母女纽带的作品中，她们当中有些是与母亲一起经历了这场浩劫，而有些却是与其他人一道。通过女儿这一角色的回忆，本书细细记录了那些惨遭纳粹迫害和谋杀的人们，并向我们证明犹太大屠杀并非是一个用来简单区分生命类别为“屠杀前”和“屠杀后”的节点。克莱蒙蒂对社会地位方面差异性的讨论，在反犹太主义和父系社会结构上的坚持，以及对这一论点的强烈赞同，均展示出了这一创伤对二十世纪的欧洲犹太种族的持续影响---不论是从个人，家庭，还是集体的角度。（DC）

Awards/获奖情况：“在极端的环境下，诸如战争或种族灭绝时，女儿们对于母亲的情感认知是否会有所不同？费德里克•克莱蒙蒂对六部由犹太大屠杀受难者和幸存所著的自传作品进行了颇具启发性的研究，并为我们呈现了在这一过程中，母女关系同样呈现出了复杂、模糊、矛盾以及最终可怕的抛物线式坠落，与和平时期的一些特征同样不谋而合。然而通过对这些隐秘的女性故事进行字里行间的仔细研究观察，《浩劫母女》同样发掘出了灾难时期其他意想不到的创造力与生存性。”---玛丽安娜•赫驰，哥伦比亚大学

“读完此书后，再难不带任何性别色彩，不考虑家庭联系，母亲的中心作用以及忽略造就了当下这些女性作家身份地位的“母女”这一强有力的关系去看待犹太大屠杀这一历史事实，不论是在这场浩劫发现前还是结束后。”-----亚历山大•加布里尼，威廉姆斯学院

“从其艰难的主体就可直观出，《浩劫母女》绝非是什么轻松的书籍。克莱蒙蒂却使得这一复杂的主题变得能够为对这一历史有所了解的人们所能够阅读和理解。即便读者们对于本书中所提及的大部门会议者并不熟知，但通过克莱蒙蒂对其经历的描述，读者也能对其略知一二。最好的例子便是最后有关于安妮•弗兰克的章节，可以说绝大多数人都已十分熟悉。”----犹太书协

“一次睿智巧妙同时知识渊博的研究之旅。。。。。。克莱蒙蒂的观点是令人耳目一新的女性主义；在辨识父系社会秩序极其恶果的时候，她从来都是勇敢向前的。。。。。。因此这是一本极受欢迎和重要的书籍作品。”----女性图书评论

“Do daughters feel differently about their mothers in situations of extremity, such as war or genocide? In this illuminating study of six autobiographical works by Jewish Holocaust victims or survivors, Federica Clementi shows that their mother-daughter relationships follow some of the same complex, ambivalent, contradictory, and ultimately devastating trajectories that characterize those in ordinary times. Yet in giving space and close attention to the intimate stories of women, Holocaust Mothers and Daughters discovers unexpected aspects of creativity and survival in times of catastrophe.” —Marianne Hirsch, Columbia University

“After reading [this book], it is impossible to think about Jewish Holocaust experiences without paying attention to gender, family ties, the centrality of mothers, and the distinct dynamics of mother-daughter bonds that shaped these writers’ existences—and presumably those of other women—during the war and thereafter.”—Alexandra Garbarini, Williams College

“Given its difficult subject, Holocaust Mothers and Daughters is obviously not a casual read. Clementi makes the complicated topic accessible to those who have some background in the subject. And although readers may not be acquainted with most of the memoirists discussed in the book, much can be learned from Clementi’s analysis of their experiences. This is especially true for the last chapter, about Anne Frank, with whom most everyone will be familiar.”—Jewish Book Council

“[A] brilliant and erudite study. . . . Clementi’s perspective is refreshingly feminist; she never flinches from recognizing the patriarchal order and its consequences. . . . This is a welcome and important book.” —Women’s Review of Books
