[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

  I know this is off topic, but I thought there might be some on this 
list who could help this researcher.

>Call for Participation
>
>I am seeking interviews with Jewish Daughters of Holocaust Survivors who
>were born or currently live in the United States.

>Since the 1980s, increasing attention has been given to Jewish female
>experiences during and after the Shoah. Existing studies already
>demonstrate the importance of listening to the testimony of children of
>survivors in order to understand the long-term consequences of the war.
>This research centers Jewish daughters of survivors and asks the questions:
>"What is it like to be a Jewish girl in a survivor family? How does growing
>up in a survivor family affect work, health, relationships to parenting and
>mothering, violence and antisemitism, and ideas about being a Jewish woman?
>What do 2nd generation women want to communicate about improving resources,
>education or historical representation (i.e. film, exhibits) to assist
>survivor families (including 2nd and 3rd generation families) or to more
>fully acknowledge the experiences of women survivors?"
>
>About the researcher: This study is the basis for my PhD dissertation in
>the Social Relations (Sociology & Anthropology) program at the University
>of California-Irvine. My Holocaust research evolved from my own familial
>and cultural history, (primarily my relationship to my great-grandmother)
>and from my conversations with 2nd generation women about silences in
>Jewish and survivor communities, relative to some aspects of women's
>experiences during and after the war. My intention is to eventually
>publish the research through venues in the Social Sciences, Women's
>Studies, and Jewish Studies.

>All interviews are confidential, and typically take between 1-2 hours. If
