Abstract

[This chapter investigates female models of compassion during the Holocaust that open new methods of analysis of Millu’s Smoke over Birkenau. These representations suggest ways of generating affectional bonds and, consequently, fighting and reversing the horror of Nazi totalitarianism. Liana Millu’s memoir, a unique form of testimonial, may inspire questions on the implications of this kind of personal narrative. Through Millu’s representations of compassion, neorealism offers a way to promote women’s relationships and understand their sensibility and ways of coping with dramatic events.]
