Document Summary
This paper will explore how the relationship between mother and child changed throughout their personal experience of the holocaust. Due to environmental, social, and external factors, this relationship was forced to adapt. This maternal relationship is a difficult one to track since many. Jewish families were separated even before they reached a concentration camp. Few mothers were allowed to remain with their children. Only people deemed fit to work survived the holocaust in most cases. This often excluded women and children, who were seem as inferior and incapable. The role of maternity can be reconstructed through interviews with survivors, testimonies, artwork, analysis, and especially though artwork. An especially relevant work of art is halina olomucki"s painting, mother and child. This paper will use all of the aforementioned domains to construct and present the bond of maternity during the holocaust as illustrated through public and private memory.
