This is one of the first volumes to shine light on the sexualized violence that some Holocaust survivors endured in the hands of the Soviet Army, partisans, rescuers, and army personnel in filtration camps during the liberation process. By focusing on testimonies and memoirs, this book discusses in detail a wide range of interactions, including sexual violence, rape, forced cohabitation, sex barter, aid, and romance. The book addresses methodological challenges of employing survivors\u2019 testimonies in an analysis of a traumatic history of liberation sexualized violence. It explores the strategies survivors employed while recounting these traumatic experiences, and examines how survivors\u2019 experiences of sexualized violence during liberation have been both included in and excluded from public memory.

Using examples from his Hebrew and Arabic writings, Perry will show how Maimonides treated slavery as a legal and philosophical problem, an intimate part of everyday life, and a practice through which Jewish identities and communal boundaries were constructed.

These documents\u2014which range from the everyday correspondence of traveling merchants to legal queries sent to Jewish jurists\u2014provide the richest surviving archive for the social history of slavery during the centuries when Cairo was an imperial and commercial capital at the intersection of the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean worlds. Perry draws on this archive, known as the Cairo Geniza, to shed new light on such crucial topics as the slave trade in state diplomacy, the entanglements of gender and household slavery, and the lives of the enslaved.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EPerry chronicles a protean slave trade that trafficked enslaved people from Europe, Africa, and India to the Egyptian market. His account cuts across different scales of analysis, from the macro-level of imperial rule to the micro-level of the family kitchen. Along the way, he upends the traditional story of Passover; medieval Jews, he writes, could explain slavery to their children by pointing to the enslaved people who served the holiday meal. When freed, some former slaves converted to Judaism and became the parents of Jewish children. Perry\u2019s narrative reveals a world, long hidden from historians, in which enslaved people made their way through the alleys of Cairo, toiled in the workshops of apothecaries, and found ways to evade the surveillance of their owners. With this book, Perry writes enslaved people into the social and economic life of medieval Islamic society.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","phone":"","contactname":"","email":"jewishstudies@asu.edu","delta":"0","alias":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/writings-maimonides-archive-history-slavery-craig-perry?id=0","ticketing_rsvp_txt":"Register","ticketing_rsvp_txt2":"","ticketing_rsvp_url":"https:\/\/specialevents.asu.edu\/maimonides-perry","ticketing_rsvp_url2":"","website":"https:\/\/jewishstudies.asu.edu","image_url":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-10\/Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2010.27.10%E2%80%AFPM.png","image_alt":"","image_title":"","start_date":"Mar 2 2027 - 4:00pm","end_date":"Mar 2 2027 - 5:30pm","time_description":"","very_start_date":"2027-03-02T16:00:00Z","very_end_date":"2027-03-02T17:30:00Z","event_types":"Lecture","interests":"Academics|History|Religion","audiences":"For current ASU students|For faculty|For the community","event_units":"Center for Jewish Studies|Jewish Studies","event_topics":"Academic events","download":"","event_map_url":"","event_map_title":"","event_video":"","location_term":"Tempe campus","venue_address":"975 S Myrtle Ave","venue_city":"Tempe","venue_state":"Arizona","venue_zip":"85281","alias-indexed":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/writings-maimonides-archive-history-slavery-craig-perry?id=0","sport_tag":"","game_type":"","subtitle":"","season":"","athletic_conference":"","tv_network":"","radio_station":"","wear_color":"","game_theme":"","history":"","history_text":"","related_stories":"","related_stories_text":"","game_notes":"","game_notes_text":"","recap_link":"","recap_link_text":"","live_stats":"","live_stats_text":"","game_time_tba":"No","sda_all_day":"No","opponent_logo":"","related_videos":"","related_videos_text":"","recurring":"no"}},{"node":{"nid":"79516","title":"Michael and Ada Anbar Lecture in Judaism, Science and Medicine and the Judaism, Science and Medicine Group Symposium: \u0027Being Human in the Technological Age\u0027","campus":"Online event, Tempe campus","locations":"University Club and Online","college_unit":"Center for Jewish Studies, Jewish Studies, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences","department":"","field_cost_value":"Free","event_price_level":"Free","asu_events_price_desc":"Free","body_summary":"\u003Cp\u003EAdvances in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping how we understand cre\u003C\/p\u003E","full_body":"\u003Cp\u003EAdvances in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping how we understand creativity, intelligence, and even life itself.
