Description:

This online roundtable brings together three contributors to the forthcoming Cambridge History of Holocaust Literature. It discusses the relationship between gender and the translation of Holocaust texts by Chava Rosenfarb, Renia Spiegel, and Molly Appelbaum, among several other authors. It explores the gendered hierarchies and patriarchal practices shaping the global canon of Holocaust literature and how translation contributed to or impeded the production, canonization, and circulation of texts written by women.
