For years her mother was unable to discuss or answer questions about this period of her life. Compelled to learn more about her mother's experience and that of other Polish women, Knab began a personal and emotional quest. Over the course of 14 years, she conducted extensive research of postwar trial testimonies housed in archives in the U.S., London, and in Warsaw to piece together facts and individual stories from this singular and often-overlooked aspect of World War II history. As mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters, female Polish forced laborers faced a unique set of challenges and often unspeakable conditions because of their gender. Required to sew a large letter 'P' onto their jackets, thousands of women, some as young as age 12, were taken from their homes in Poland and forced to work for the Reich for months and years on end. In this important contribution to World War II history, Knab explains how it all happened, from the beginning of occupation in Poland to liberation: the roundups; the horrors of transit camps; the living and working conditions of Polish women in agriculture and industry; and the anguish of sexual exploitation and forced abortions--all under the constant threat of concentration camps. Knab draws from documents, government and family records, rare photos, and most importantly, numerous victim accounts--diaries, letters and trial testimonies--to present an unflinching, detailed portrait of the lives of female Polish laborers, finally giving these women a voice and bringing to light the atrocities that they endured"--Provided by publisher Occupation of Poland (1939-1945) fast World War (1939-1945) fast Geschichte 1939-1945 gnd 1900-1999 fast Polin (DE-588)4326609-5 gnd Zwangsarbeiterin (DE-588)4351127-2 gnd World War, 1939-1945 Conscript labor Germany World War, 1939-1945 Women Germany Polish people Germany History 20th century Women Germany History 20th century Forced labor Germany History 20th century Foreign workers, Polish Germany History 20th century World War, 1939-1945 Personal narratives, Polish World War, 1939-1945 Atrocities Germany Atrocities fast Forced labor fast Foreign workers, Polish fast Polish people fast Social conditions fast Women fast Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd Poland History Occupation, 1939-1945 Germany Social conditions 1933-1945 Germany fast Poland fast Personal narratives Polish fast http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000004&line_number=0003&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000005&line_number=0004&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 E1903 E19-20181105 NEBIS E19 E19 SAMNC 139687 NEBIS 100 1- Knab Sophie Hodorowicz 1948- (DE-588)1116977478 Verfasser aut NEBIS 856 -- http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières NEBIS 856 -- http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières NEBIS 856 -- http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000004&line_number=0003&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières NEBIS 856 -- http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030116493&sequence=000005&line_number=0004&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Freier Zugriff/Accès libre via World Wide Web Inhaltsverzeichnis=Table des matières NEBIS EAD50 EBI01 E19 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/e19_978-0-7818-1359-4_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf
