We consider how they represent the particular threats the Nazis posed to women.  We look at the way in which, as writers, they approach trauma, think about the activity of art and the structures of language.  </div> <div>      </div> <div> Writings by survivors, women in the <I>Kindertransport</I>, and women in subsequent generations.</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
