“Zyklon B did not differentiate between men and women; the same death swept them all away. Because the same fate awaited all Jews. I approached the writing of this chapter with grave reservations; why should I focus on women? Any division of the Holocaust and its sufferers according to gender seemed offensive to me. The issue of gender seemed to belong to another generation, another era. But I did not want the story of the women of Theresienstadt to be left out. So I undertook this task in the name of the women of Theresienstadt and began to examine, for myself, in what way the lives of women in the ghetto differed from the lives of men, and how one could explain this distinction, if explanation is possible.1”
Agnes Grunwald-Spier, Women's Experiences in the Holocaust: In Their Own Words

“The Somme is like the Holocaust. It revealed things about mankind that we cannot come to terms with and cannot forget. It can never become the past. Pat Barker, November 1995, on winning the Booker Prize”
