Women Against Tyranny

This is a unique and extraordinary collection of poems and narratives which opens new avenues of representation for teaching Holocaust literature. Davi Walders knows so many Holocaust heroes (e.g. Dr. Rita Levi-Monatalcini, Sophie Scholl, Cory Ten Boom, Zivia Lubetkin) so well that she writes persona poems, poems in the voices of the women themselves. I cannot imagine teaching Holocaust literature without “The Silence at Treblinka” or “Lidice Survivor” or any of the invaluable texts she now offers teachers and reader who are willing to open themselves to new and even startling voices.
