| Beschreibung: | Research on early postwar documentation efforts related to the Second World War and the Holocaust conducted by survivors of Nazi persecution has ex panded over the past two decades. Yet, research on how knowledge circulated tween these efforts – especially across various “borders” – is still nascent. This chapter seeks to gain a better understanding of the role of women’s informal works during the early postwar period, activated through correspondence, in the circulation of knowledge – with regard to both the Nazi atrocities and the efforts themselves (methods, materials, etc.) – between the Polish Research Institute in Lund, Sweden (PIZ) and other similar initiatives, especially the ones conducted by survivors of Nazi persecution. In addition to gender, religion and other ces are also important analytical tools used in this study to understand if and how communications were carried out across these categories. The findings vide new insights into the roles of women in early efforts to document the Nazi atrocities, the interplay of gender dynamics in the organizational structure and hierarchy of one of these efforts, and their impact on the circulation of knowledge between similar initiatives. |
