In it, feminist sociologist R. Ruth Linden begins with her own experience in an assimilated Jewish family, where Holocaust silence shaped her path. In 1983, she began interviewing Holocaust survivors, uncovering how personal narratives are continuously shaped and reshaped.\u003cp\u003eThrough the intimate accounts she captures here, Linden reveals how storytelling constructs the self--not as a static truth, but as a living, evolving process. Her reflections challenge traditional social science, emphasizing the deep connection between researcher and subject. The result is a striking montage of voices, where interviewer and interviewee are inseparably linked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis transformative study invites readers to reconsider the Holocaust not just historically, but personally. It offers a powerful contribution to interpretive social science and Holocaust literature, inspiring scholars and general readers alike to rethink survival, memory, and the stories we tell to understand who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889150935191,"sku":"9780814205846","price":3876.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814205846.webp?v=1781174537","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/making-stories-making-selves-feminist-reflections-on-the-holocaust-9780814205846","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
