- Abstract
The article discusses the experience of ethnic German women from Romania deported to the Soviet Union after World War II, with a particular focus on gender and ethnicity. A major source for the article is oral histories taken from six women all but one of whom were from the area around the city of Brasov in the central Romanian region of Transylvania. The gendered nature of their experience and treatment as women and Germans during the deportations and forced labor under totalitarian Communism is a particular focus.
