Memorias de Birkenau

This work analyzes the memories and the literary works of five Jewish women (Edith Bruck, Liana Millu, Luciana Nissim, Piera Sonnino and Giuliana Tedeschi) who survived the lager of Auschwitz-Birkenau. After showing, from a gender perspective, some of the specific features of these women's writtings on the Shoah, this work comes to analyze how Sonnino and Millu tackle their memories, about the experience at the concentration camps, in an opposite way.
