Violent Space
2023
Overview
For Nazi Germany, the ghetto was a conceptual tool used to
facilitate social and political exclusion and further their
anti-Jewish campaign. For the Jews who lived in them, the ghettos
became the center of their lives-even though they were also sites
of immense suffering.
Combining thorough historical research with an interdisciplinary
analysis of the relationship between space and violence,
Violent Space provides a unique insight into the history
and the socio-spatial topography of the Jewish ghetto in
German-occupied Warsaw (1939-1943). Using rare archival materials
and firsthand accounts, many of which have never been translated
into English, Anja Nowak traces out the trauma that the space of
the ghetto inflicted on its Jewish inhabitants, and how it
alienated, disoriented, and harmed them.
While the physical ghetto-its buildings, boundaries, and
streets-has been reabsorbed and redefined by modern-day Warsaw's
urban structure, Violent Space shows us that its presence
still lingers in the narratives of those who were forced into this
first phase of the Holocaust.
