Lefordított traumák, lefordított életek: holokauszt-túlélő magyar nők az emigrációban
Translated Traumas, Translated Lives: Hungarian Holocaust Women Survivors in Emigration

Summary/Abstract: In this article the author deals with women’s experiences as distinct from those of men in the Holocaust, a topic which has only began to receive scholarly attention relatively recently. In this article Vasvári studies life writing texts by survivor women who, although they are Hungarian, wrote in emigration in a new language, the psychological significance of which Vasvári studies in some detail through both linguistic and literary analysis. These are authors who should be known to theHungarian reading public, but unfortunately very few have been published in Hungarian (and this includes those who actually wrote in Hungarian but were only published in their host country’s language) and these few available memoirs are as yet without critical commentary.
