Redefining The Agency Of Jewish Communities Through Ghetto Humor, Addison E. Lomax
Redefining The Agency Of Jewish Communities Through Ghetto Humor, Addison E. Lomax
Student Publications
While the Holocaust is remembered by historians and victims as a time of suffering and genocide, Jewish ghetto survivors recall numerous occasions in which humor was used to combat the oppression of Nazi authorities. Although many historians emphasized the physical hardships and tragic conditions faced by Jewish victims of the Holocaust, the existence of jokes throughout Eastern European ghettos articulated the legitimacy of humor within the greater context and discussion of coping, resistance, and unification for the preservation of Jewish life and identity in the post-war period.
