https://doi.org/10.4467/23531991KK.16.024.6763The experience of the Holocaust and concentration camps has still been insufficiently described in the dimension of gender. The experiences of women and men were different, and so are their respective accounts. The essay A Beautiful Woman’s Chance proposes beauty as a category for describing the female experience of internment and extermination. It turns out that reading testimonies and literary texts through such a “filter” of corporeality reveals a lot of examples which show that beauty did play a role in extermination of women.
