Samuel Kassow's paper
Using the ghetto reportage and diaries of Peretz Opoczynski, Joseph Zelkowicz, Rachel Auerbach, and others, this paper will address the interplay of resistance ("amida") and trauma in descriptions of the ghetto experience in Lodz and Warsaw. It will also address the current scholarly debate about whether an alleged overemphasis on resistance minimizes a much more truthful reality shaped by trauma and breakdown.
