Abstract: »But as Andrea Pető shows in her chapter, communal memory of the Red Army’s sexual(ized) violence was not erased. Even though “the crimes of sexual violence committed by Soviet soldiers after 1945 went largely unpunished legally,” Pető reminds us, “the emotional and political consequences of this remain evident to this day.”« (Source: Paulovicova, Nina. »Introduction.« Shattered Liberation: Sexualized Violence Against Holocaust Survivors, 1943–1946.
