Abstract:
Discusses dilemmas faced by Jewish mothers during the Holocaust and their attempts to continue functioning as they had before the war, taking into account the pre-war influences of modernization and the differences between Western and Eastern Europe. Notes that women in Eastern Europe were generally more involved in their families' finances because so many of them lived in poverty, and in the protection of their children because they had suffered in World War I. During the 1930s in Germany, as men lost their jobs or were arrested, many women became the sole providers of their families and had to make decisions on their own. The same was later the case for women in occupied Poland whose husbands had fled or were sent to Nazi camps. Notes that thousands of Jewish parents sent children to Eretz Israel or on a Kindertransport before the war, or into hiding during the war, knowing they might never see them again. Some parents could not make decisions and some ceased to function as parents.
