Jewish Women Medical Practitioners in EuropeBefore, During and After the Holocaust
For issue no. 35, Nashim will focus on Jewish women medical practitioners (nurses and physicians) in Europe during the Holocaust and in the pre- and postwar years, under the consulting editorship of Miriam Offer of Western Galilee College (Israel) and Lisa Fishbayn Joffe, Director of the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute.
Academic scholarship on the practice of medicine during the Holocaust has developed only since the 1980s. On one hand, early investigations of Jewish medical activities, which began in the ghettos and camps during the Holocaust itself and continued immediately afterwards, were shunted to the margins in favor of other, more apparently pressing topics (such as Jewish leadership, Jewish resistance and the roles of “bystanders”). On the other hand, German physicians who served under the Nazis and continued to hold senior medical positions after the war actively silenced this research, to conceal the German medical system's criminal activities and their personal involvement in them.
Deadline: Closed
Nashim Journal
Nashim was co-founded by the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, one of Israel’s leading academic centers for modern Jewish learning, including the Center for Women in Jewish Law and The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, the world’s first university-based research institute devoted to the study of Jews and gender. This journal provides an international, interdisciplinary academic forum — the only one of its kind — for the innovative work being done in Jewish women’s and gender studies. It regularly includes articles on literature, text studies, anthropology, archeology, theology, contemporary thought, sociology, the arts and more.
Nashim creates communication channels within the Jewish women’s and gender studies community and brings the fruits of that community’s work to a wider audience. Each issue is theme oriented and produced in consultation with a distinguished feminist scholar. Some of the topics discussed in past issues include Feminist Interpretations of Rabbinic Literature; Gender, Food and Survival; Women, War and Peace in Jewish and Middle East contexts; and Autobiography and Memoir.
Nashim is published twice a year by Indiana University Press, which was founded in 1950 and is the largest publisher among Big Ten presses and the tenth largest university press in the country. Subscriptions for individuals are $25, for Institutions are $45, for surface post outside of the U.S. the charge is $11.50, and air mail outside the U.S. is $23.
We wish to thank Rachell Maidenbaum Gober, whose generous support has enabled us to publish Nashim.
