Abstract

This article examines Jewish youth identity, gender, and ideology during the Holocaust in France in order to understand how young people responded to persecution. The author’s attempts to understand the youth perspective reveals that these adolescents’ experiences were distinct and varied, and each traversed complex and multifaceted paths through the war. Always in perpetual negotiation with other elements of their identities—such as their ideology, religion, and gender—for many, youth movements greatly impacted how they developed and matured into adulthood. Coming of age during the Holocaust meant not only enduring persecution, but also traditional discourses on the place of young people in society. Charting the trajectories of individual young people and Jewish youth groups within the context of the war, the Holocaust, and French Jewish history reveals their radicalized and accelerated wartime development. In researching this phenomenon, it becomes possible to decenter entrenched narratives of persecution and resistance and enhance our understanding of wartime gender roles, the impact of Judaism, and the various ideologies that informed these youths’ lives.
争夺青年:法国大屠杀期间犹太童子军的身份、宗教和性别
本文研究了法国大屠杀期间犹太青少年的身份、性别和意识形态,以了解青少年如何应对迫害。作者试图从青少年的视角来理解他们,结果发现这些青少年的经历各不相同,每个人都在战争中走过了复杂而多面的道路。对于许多人来说,青年运动始终在与他们身份的其他因素--如意识形态、宗教和性别--进行长期的协商,这极大地影响了他们如何成长和成熟为成年人。在大屠杀期间成年,不仅意味着要经受迫害,还意味着要经受关于年轻人在社会中的地位的传统论述。在战争、大屠杀和法国犹太人历史的背景下描绘青年个人和犹太青年团体的发展轨迹,可以揭示他们在战时激进和加速的发展。通过对这一现象的研究,我们有可能去中心化关于迫害和抵抗的根深蒂固的叙事,加深我们对战时性别角色、犹太教的影响以及影响这些青年生活的各种意识形态的理解。
