About this book
Reviews
Cynthia Crane's exploration of Jewish-Christian women resists simple
classification. It is at once a personal memoir of a scholar's intellectual
journey, an oral history, and a serious study of German women who
had been marginalized both by the Nazis and by previous scholars. She
writes of transgressions in the past and in the present as she and the other
interview participants grapple with the issues of identity, inclusion, and
exclusion .Crane's straightforward eloquent prose and thought-provoking yet subtle arguments make this book a delight to read. Lyra Totten-Naylor, NWSA Journal "...Crane's project is a welcome addition to such a timely and sensitive topic...." - Caroline Schaumann, German Studies Review
Divided Lives is a well-written, intelligent must-read. John E. Dolibois, US Ambassador
"...deeply human, nonconventional view of the Nazi time and of particular women's destinies. Opens new questions." -Agnieszka Holland, Director of Academy Award-Nominated "Europa, Europa" and "Angry Harvest"
Crane allows the voices of the victims to shape their own history, and therefore offers an important contribution to Holocaust studies. Marion Kaplan, Queens College, CUNY
I believe in personal testimonies as you do - they have no equal in their weight of truth and memory. Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
...the voices and stories she collects have not been heard in such detail before and are a welcome addition to Holocaust and Jewish studies. Publishers Weekly
Gives a voice to the neglected Mischlings (half-breeds) and provides a significant record of both wartime and postwar Germany. Kirkus Reviews
