Body and Gender in Nazi Concentration Camps
Abstract
The article Body and Cender in Nazi Concentration Camps is an attempt to discuss difficult
issues of human sexuality and sexually marked behaviors in the context of the concentration
camps, and their descriptions in the memoirs of the survivors. Using notions and concepts of the
so called "black American feminism" the author (referring extensively to books by Stanisław
Grzesiuk and Zofia Romanowiczowa) shows how in the concentration camp the human body
became the only space of a relative privacy of the prisoner. At the same time the body becomes
a territory on which all - both biological and socially constructed - human fates cross.
