What Is The Relationship Between Dignity And Despair By Kapla Kaplan

Kaplan is no stranger to laypeople or historians that are interested in the Holocaust and in her role as the Skirball Professor of Modern Jewish History at New York University Kaplan has written many note worthy works on topics from the early Jewish feminist movement to an in-depth coverage of Jewish life in Imperial Germany. Between Dignity and Despair does not venter far from Kaplan comfort zone in the scene that it is still very much a social history about the lives of Jewish people. Dignity tires to show the daily lives of Jewish people in the years leading up to their placement in ghettoes and eventually their deaths in the concentration camps. The experiences and trials of a multitude of people are recounted, but Kaplan tailors her thesis to cover primarily Jewish women and their experiences with the Nazi’s consolidation of power.
