Abstract

The present work focuses on a specific number of women who have left their memories as a proof for mankind that has always needed to keep their testimonies alive. Our main interest is to maintain the remembrances from the past until today, capturing the essential meanings of their lives. We believe it is appropriate to claim that although women’s experiences during the Holocaust were not quite different from those of men, their stories are certainly worthy of being rescued.
