Masha Rol’nikaite’s diary and novels, published in Soviet times, offer a unique perspective on German-occupied Lithuania, yet her oeuvre is virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. The books give a vivid account of the destruction of Jewish families and their survival, and of gendered and sexual violence against Jewish and non-Jewish women, effectively confronting a double layer of silence and taboo that unnamed the destruction of Soviet Jewry and of sexual violence for decades. Furthermore, the author explores how female survivors struggled to live on with the repercussions of Nazi violence and the ethical quandaries they had been exposed to during war and occupation. Foregrounding individual experiences, Rol’nikaite traces the breakdown of communal and familial networks in the face of extraordinary violence as well as its aftermath. Her work is firmly grounded in personal experiences, suggesting that the writer consciously blurs the line between historical and literary representation. The fictionalization of the genocide of the Jewish population and of brutal sexual assaults challenges Soviet portrayals of the war that focused on military confrontation, victory, and rebuilding. The article draws on Rol’nikaite’s oeuvre, several interviews with her, archival material as well as newer scholarship on the destruction of Soviet and Lithuanian Jewry and sexual violence and its perception, to illustrate and contextualize Rol’nikaite’s emphasis on interlocking violence that shaped the lives of young Jewish women under the German occupation regime.

“为那些不能说话的人说话”：玛莎·罗尔尼凯特 (Masha Rol'nikaite) 在德占苏联领土上的大屠杀和性暴力

Masha Rol'nikaite 在苏联时期出版的日记和小说提供了对德占立陶宛的独特视角，但她的作品在英语世界几乎无人知晓。这些书生动地描述了犹太家庭及其生存的毁灭，以及针对犹太和非犹太妇女的性别暴力和性暴力，有效地对抗了双重沉默和禁忌，即苏联犹太人的毁灭和性暴力。几十年来。此外，作者还探讨了女性幸存者如何在纳粹暴力的影响以及她们在战争和占领期间所面临的道德困境中挣扎求生。罗尔尼凯特以个人经历为背景，追溯了面对异常暴力及其后果时公共和家庭网络的崩溃。她的作品牢固地植根于个人经历，这表明作者有意模糊了历史和文学表现之间的界限。对犹太人的种族灭绝和残酷的性侵犯的虚构化挑战了苏联对战争的描绘，即专注于军事对抗、胜利和重建。这篇文章借鉴了罗尔尼凯特的全部作品、对她的几次采访、档案材料以及关于破坏苏联和立陶宛犹太人和性暴力及其感知的最新学术成果，以说明罗尔尼凯特对环环暴力的强调，这些暴力塑造了德国占领政权下年轻的犹太妇女的生活。暗示作者有意识地模糊了历史和文学表现之间的界限。对犹太人的种族灭绝和残酷的性侵犯的虚构化挑战了苏联对战争的描绘，即专注于军事对抗、胜利和重建。这篇文章借鉴了罗尔尼凯特的全部作品、对她的几次采访、档案材料以及关于破坏苏联和立陶宛犹太人和性暴力及其感知的最新学术成果，以说明罗尔尼凯特对环环暴力的强调，这些暴力塑造了德国占领政权下年轻的犹太妇女的生活。暗示作者有意识地模糊了历史和文学表现之间的界限。对犹太人的种族灭绝和残酷的性侵犯的虚构化挑战了苏联对战争的描绘，即专注于军事对抗、胜利和重建。这篇文章借鉴了罗尔尼凯特的全部作品、对她的几次采访、档案材料以及关于破坏苏联和立陶宛犹太人和性暴力及其感知的最新学术成果，以说明罗尔尼凯特对环环暴力的强调，这些暴力塑造了德国占领政权下年轻的犹太妇女的生活。和重建。这篇文章借鉴了罗尔尼凯特的全部作品、对她的几次采访、档案材料以及关于破坏苏联和立陶宛犹太人和性暴力及其感知的最新学术成果，以说明罗尔尼凯特对环环暴力的强调，这些暴力塑造了德国占领政权下年轻的犹太妇女的生活。和重建。这篇文章借鉴了罗尔尼凯特的全部作品、对她的几次采访、档案材料以及关于破坏苏联和立陶宛犹太人和性暴力及其感知的最新学术成果，以说明罗尔尼凯特对环环暴力的强调，这些暴力塑造了德国占领政权下年轻的犹太妇女的生活。
