ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the influence of Janina Bauman’s Winter in the Morning on Zygmunt Bauman’s Modernity and the Holocaust. Both books belong to different spaces of the intellectual field and were created by different categories of intellectuals. An essential point which appears, thanks to the feminist approach that provides the space for responding to the question asked previously, is the subaltern position of the author of Winter in the Morning. Janina Lewinson was a young woman during the War, and Winter in the Morning is a young girl’s story. The chapter explains why the huge influence of Janina’s work on Modernity and Holocaust remains hidden. Janina’s writing quality had a strong influence on Modernity and the Holocaust. Winter in the Morning has become a precious source for many scholars studying the civilian life in the Ghetto and hidden places, the daily life and intimacy of survivors as well as the women’s and children’s Holocaust experiences.
