Gender, Sexual Relations and Intimacy During the Holocaust
Issues of gender, sexual relations and intimacy are promising areas of research, but ones that are
still very much new to being explored in Holocaust historiography. This week’s readings approach
these topics in two different ways, giving an insight into research on intimacy in both a wartime and
a Holocaust context.
